Abstract
This study estimated the impacts of on- and off-campus work on first y ear student cognitive outcomes. With controls made for precollege cogn itive level and other relevant influences, amount of on- and off-campu s work had little negative impact on first year reading comprehension, mathematics, or critical thinking. The small, single-institution, vol unteer sample may limit the generalizability of the study.
