We found that Puerto Ricans and whites that expected to attain a bachelor's degree or more and that reached a higher level of math are significantly more likely to enroll in four-year and two-year colleges or universities. Puerto Ricans and whites with higher standardized test scores are more likely to enroll in four-year but not twoyear colleges. Puerto Ricans from affluent contexts are more likely than those from less affluent areas to attend four-year colleges and earn incomes above poverty. White and Puerto Rican females are more likely to be in poverty. 2011 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37722225002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.2 Vol.XXIII |
