Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pascarella and Terenzini (1991, 2005, 2006) discovered that verbal and quantitative skills increase as a result of attending college. They also found that critical thinking skills increase during the first two years of college, but then plateau or decrease in the following years. Finally, they found that students tend to place more emphasis on college as a pathway to a better job as they progress through college. However, there is no evidence to suggest that oral and written communication skills do not change from high school.
