The enrollment and persistence of African-American doctoral students in physical education and related disciplines
The purpose of this study was to identify factors that affected African-Americans in their decisions to enroll and their ability to persist in doctoral study in physical education and related disciplines. A written survey was administered to 106 African-Americans who earned doctoral degrees between 1971 and 1990. Responses were received from 74 degree recipients (54 males, 20 females), or 69.8% of the identified population. Based upon their demographic diversity, a sample of six individuals was selected and subsequently interviewed. Quantitative and qualitative survey data were integrated, when appropriate, and a respondent profile was constructed. Case study reports were written for each of the six interviewees and a cross-case analysis was conducted.

- "Factors affecting enrollment and persistence were both institutional (geographic location, financial aid, campus environment) and non-institutional (professional aspirations, personal qualities, support from family and others). Financial aid and campus environment were important persistence factors due to the respondents' low income prior to doctoral study ("@en
- "Over half of the respondents attended historically black undergraduate institutions, but most subsequently earned their master's degrees at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). At their doctoral institutions, many respondents received teaching and research assistantships and some earned minority and general scholarships. In addition to institutional aid, most respondents relied heavily upon personal financial resources (savings, full- and part-time salaries, loans) to subsidize their doctoral tuition. Most male respondents completed their degrees in 3 years. The average woman took 5 years--she was more likely to experience interruptions in study. The majority of the respondents had no black professors or mentors, and most indicated that they enjoyed a favorable campus environment."@en
