Current Research Project:

College-to-Career Culture among Undergraduates at a Liberal Arts University, Principal Investigator: Tracy L. Scott, PhD. Emory University IRB Study ID: IRB00116236.

Research Goals:

The purpose of this research is an exploration of student culture (values, beliefs, discourse) around college-to-career issues at a selective liberal arts university. Using ethnographic methods, we will explore students’ own experiences related to academic majors, desirable work outcomes and career paths. We will also investigate how students talk about these issues among themselves and what they hear about these issues from faculty and administrators on campus.
