However, limited research has been conducted tounderstand how the student experience in these programs compares to more traditional graduateprograms and the motivators that influence students to enroll in these new programs.One of the few studies exploring one-year Master’s

However, the two programs had a similar structure of research experiences forstudents, sharing the same housing and common activities for 10 weeks. Pre- and post-surveysrevealed the common and uncommon areas of the impact of the programs on national andinternational students’ career goals, self-efficacy on graduate school, perceptions of research, andresearch expectation and experiences. Results showed that most students came to favor graduateeducation and research, and their preferences did not change significantly at the end of theprograms.
