The purpose of this study was to determine how enrollment in a basic instruction program (BIP) course may affect undergraduate student retention rates. This study examined whether enrollment in BIP courses influenced student retention of all first-time, full-time, baccalaureate degree-seeking students enrolled at a public research university during the years of 2014 and 2015 ( N = 5,565). A significant finding showed students enrolled in BIP courses during their first or second year had 1.65 greater odds of being retained after the second year. Additionally, students enrolled in BIP courses during their second year had 3.22 greater odds of second year retention. For each additional BIP course enrolled, students had 1.39 greater odds of being retained after the second year. While most institutions no longer require BIP enrollment, the findings in the current study demonstrate an association between BIP enrollment and greater odds of student retention.

参加基础教学计划 (BIP) 课程如何影响大学生保留率的研究

本研究的目的是确定基础教学项目 (BIP) 课程的注册如何影响本科生的保留率。本研究调查了 2014 年和 2015 年期间就读公立研究型大学的所有首次全日制攻读学士学位的学生是否会影响 BIP 课程的入学率（N = 5,565）。一项重大发现表明，在第一年或第二年就读 BIP 课程的学生在第二年之后被保留的几率增加了 1.65 倍。此外，在第二年注册 BIP 课程的学生第二年保留的几率更高 3.22。每额外注册一门 BIP 课程，学生在第二年后被保留的几率就会增加 1.39。虽然大多数机构不再要求 BIP 入学，但当前研究的结果表明，BIP 入学与更高的学生保留率之间存在关联。
