Understanding college degree completion of students with low socioeconomic status: The Influence of the Institutional Financial Context (2006, background): “…1989; Kane and Spizman, 1994), college choice (e.g., Baker and Vélez, 1996; Cabrera, Burkum, and La Nasa, 2003; McPherson and Schapiro, 1998; Perna and Titus, 2004), and persistence (e.g., Paulsen and St. John, 2002; Stampen and Cabrera, 1986, 1988; St. John, Paulsen, and Starkey, 1996).”
Access Without Equity (2012, background): “6Although our longitudinal data set did not allow for such analyses over time, Perna and Titus (2004) convincingly demonstrate the important role played by state-level policies regarding financial aid, tuition, K–12 education, and general appropriations in both institutional and SES stratification.”
University choice: what do we know, what don’t we know and what do we still need to find out? (2015, methodology): “Racial group Reay et al. (2001), Perna and Titus (2004), Cho et al.”
Academic Engagement and Student Success: Do High-Impact Practices Mean Higher Graduation Rates? (2018, background): “Additionally, students with socioeconomic characteristics associated with lengthened time to degree are more likely to attend public rather than private institutions (Perna & Titus, 2007).”
STUDYING COLLEGE ACCESS AND CHOICE: A PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL MODEL (2006, methodology): “…or did not enroll (Plank and Jordan, 2001), or enrolled in an in-state public two-year institution, enrolled in an in-state public four-year institution, enrolled in an in-state private four-year institution, enrolled in an out-of-state institution, or did not enroll (Perna and Titus, 2004).”
The influence of organizational image on college selection: what students seek in institutions of higher education (2010, background): “…adolescents focus on different demographic characteristics of students such as race (Freeman, 1999), geographic origin (Kelpe Kern, 2000; Lapan, Tucker, Kim, & Kosciulek, 2003; Powell & Luzzo, 1998), and financial issues (Bergerson, 2009; DesJardins, Ahlburg, & McCall, 2006; Perna & Titus, 2004).”
Does State Merit-Based Aid Stem Brain Drain? (2010, background): “Just as Perna and Titus (2004) find that increases in state appropriations to higher education attract students from outside the state, Strathman (1994) finds the inverse—that high out-migration rates lead policymakers to lower state appropriations to the higher education sector.”
Effects of Exposure to Part-time Faculty on Community College Transfer (2008, background): “Although some studies have linked social capital and access to information to family networks (Perna 2004; Perna and Titus 2004), other studies have considered how students can generate social capital through their connections with institutional agents (Stanton-Salazar and Dornbusch 1995).”
