Abstract

The specific goals of this investigation were to (a) collect reenrollment information on students enrolled in psychology courses during the fall semesters in 2007, 2009, and 2013, (b) determine which student-background factors and student-experience factors predicted their reenrollment in the fall semester one year later, and (c) offer detailed, data-driven guidelines for improving retention rates at ASU, based the results of the quantitative analysis of CPQ scores. The samples included students who took psychology courses to fulfill core curriculum, major, and/or minor requirements, as well as those who took the courses as electives.
