The research aims this study seeks to address are: Aim 1: Characterize common narratives of Master’s-level departure and model departure decisions over time. Broad questions include: How do narratives of attrition vary by characteristic (e.g., stage of graduate study at time of departure, gender, race)? How do factors of attrition from higher education literature manifest in an engineering context

In that study, a semi-structured interviewframework was used in discussions with beginning engineering students (identified as first- orsecond-year undergraduate students) and advanced engineering students (identified as final-yearundergraduate or graduate students) [24].

One type of option allows students to combine their undergraduate andgraduate study and to accelerate the completion of a first graduate degree. These curriculaoptions are identified by a variety of program names, e.g. accelerated masters, combined BS/MS,and 4+1 programs [1,2]. Common features are double-counting courses to satisfy bothundergraduate and graduate degree requirements and a degree path with shortened time-to-completion.
