Research indicates that doctoral students' relationship with their advisor is the most important factor in the degree progress, and often the main reason for student attrition. In this study interviews with graduate students in two science departments, biology and chemistry, at a large research university were used to explore their concept of the "ideal" science research advisor and the extent to which their present advisor fits this ideal. Students' descriptions of the ideal research advisor included many of the traits that characterize the advisor as a mentor. However, student responses also indicated that most of their advisors deviated considerably from students' descriptions of the "ideal." This perception was particularly common among the female students in chemistry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following today's final vote by the U.S. Senate on the debt reduction bill, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) issued the following statement expressing concern about the consequences of the bill on students' access to higher education: The AVMA is disappointed in the decision by Congress to eliminate the in-school interest subsidy on graduate and professional student loans as part of its action to reduce federal spending," said Dr. Mark Lutschaunig, AVMA director of Governmental Relations. "The AVMA certainly understands the need to limit federal spending and address the nation's growing debt. However, eliminating educational financing for graduate and professional students who rely on student loans to fund their educ...

Fred Rawlinson made a promise to himself about life after retirement. A former art professor at the Memphis College of Art, the 71-year-old returned to his first love after retiring in 1992. "I was always keenly interested in studying the Bible and attending seminary, even in the early part of my life. He fulfills that promise as an audit student at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary , where he has helped make it possible for all senior citizens over the age of 60 to attend regular classes at a special rate of $50 each semester.

The cost of graduate school rose for more than a million students, including thousands in Pittsburgh, with the nation's debt deal. Under terms of the $2.4 trillion debt reduction bill signed into law on Tuesday, the government will cease paying interest on federal loans for graduate education while students are in school. That means students must pay interest on those loans while in school or face higher repayment costs after graduation.

As Virginia Tech students struggle to pay rising tuition and deal with cutbacks to some aid programs, controversy has erupted among graduate students over a steep rise in a state-mandated fee. When Tech's so-called capital fee jumped from $390 per year for full-time nonresident students to $569 per year, the Graduate Student Assembly asked for a formal meeting with Tech administrators.

Choosing a graduate (masters and doctoral) program of study at an ideal institution is probably one of the most important decisions students and their family will make. The graduate college selection involves identifying the most critical academic and non-academic factors, and weighing their importance against the large quantity of choices available. Academics are subdivided into institutional, departmental/program, and faculty factors, while non-academics are subdivided into personal reasons and influence of other people. This study reviews critical academic and non-academic factors influencing the college choice decisions of graduate students. Results of previous research indicate that graduate school selection factors vary according certain demographic variables including age, gender...
