Despite the need for reliable statistical information, there is no systematic monitoring of scientific migration flows in Russia. The Federal State Statistics Service, the specialized portals of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, and a number of research projects make it possible to compose a «mosaic» of various kinds of assessments, including the number of foreign scientific staff working in Russia and the number of domestic researchers sent to foreign internships.

Because it is not always easy to identify these operations, questions are provided to help the potential student determine whether a provider is a diploma mill or an accreditation mill. If the answers to a majority of questions are yes, students should consider this highly suggestive that...

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009, provides an unprecedented opportunity for states to use this significant infusion of one-time federal funds to protect access and quality while improving cost effectiveness and increasing degree productivity. While ARRA contains strong directives to promote improvements in K-12 education, no similar direction is given regarding funds for higher education. States and institutions...

GAO investigations revealed the relative ease with which a diploma mill can be created and bogus degrees obtained. Records obtained obtained from schools and agencies likely understate the extent to which the federal government has paid for degrees from diploma mills and other unaccredited schools. Many agencies have difficulty in providing reliable data because they do not have systems in place to properly verify academic degrees or to detect fees for degrees that are masked as fees for...

There has been a significant growth in the number and types of degrees offered by a wider variety of Canadian post-secondary institutions. This expansion of degree access is the legitimate response to various forces, both social and post secondary. However, as a result, there has been some confusion regarding the meaning and value of the new degrees offered by the increasing variety of institutions. Several provinces are now recognizing this confusion through initiatives to "redesign"...

Previous research on attrition has focused on the economic consequences of low graduation rates in terms of costs to students and families (from tuition and fees that do not culminate in a credential), lost time, and income and tax losses from low educational attainment in the workforce. However, no systematic attention has been given to another critical aspect of the cost of attrition, which is the cost to institutions (and to their financial supporters) from the "lost" credits that...

The French secondary hierarchical educational system resting upon strong structuring dualisms, has been modified by the creation of the vocational baccalaureat. This aims at offering students who failed in general education a path for continuing their studies or catching up through tracks that are socially more prestigious. Some 20 years after its creation, do students find in this diploma a chance to create their own pathway? Has it changed the social perception of vocational education and...

In July 2009, President Barack Obama set out a bold higher education agenda for his administration and promised that the U.S. would once again lead the world in college degree attainment. Given the nation's current level of college completion, it is reasonable to wonder whether such ambitions are feasible. While there is a sense that the country needs to recreate the "Golden Age" of American higher education, where high completion rates were the norm, few have bothered to ask whether...

In 2000, 43 percent of undergraduates were of nontraditional college age (24 years or older). Eighty percent were employed, including 39 percent who were employed full time. Today, experts believe that nearly three out of four adults are taking some kind of training. This increase is due in part to the growing number of programs that provide an alternative to the traditional classroom approach. These programs and increased access to information about educational opportunities have given many...

This paper reviews some of the reasons why a majority of Japanese university students are not interested in study-abroad, international-education type programs. A general consensus in Japan is that disinterest in studying abroad is reflective of the values held by many Japanese young people, often referred to as the "grass-eating" generation. A "grass eater," as defined by the Japanese grass-eater image, is a docile, nonassertive person; someone who desires and is fully...

Postsecondary education delivers many benefits to students who attend America's colleges and universities and to society in general. But when students are asked about what they want from college, the most frequent responses focus on labor market outcomes, especially good careers and high earnings. However, as more and more students borrow more and more money to fund their postsecondary education, they should explore all of their options, including shorter and less expensive pathways (e.g.,...

Since 2000, in-state tuition at U.S. public four-year universities has risen 50 percent in real terms, while total outstanding student loans have doubled in the past ten years, to surpass $1.3 trillion.

Key findings include: (1) Only 52 percent of U.S. students who enroll in college graduate within six years; (2) Nearly half--44 percent--of recent college graduates from four-year...

Most of the students in the State University System have been admitted to a program that leads to a graduate or undergraduate degree. Out of the 271,337 students in the SUS, however, 15,304, or approximately six percent, are "unclassified" students who are not formally admitted to a degree program. This percentage in fall 2003 represents a decline from over 8% in fall 2000. Since most unclassified students are part-time (84%, compared to 30% of all students), they accounted for less...
