Abstract: The purpose of the study is to examine the impact factors of 11 high impact practices (HIPs) of the Association of American Colleges and Universities to identify their influences on the learning experience of college students. A research model is developed based on the theory of planned behaviour to link beliefs of high impacts to the practice of learning behaviours. Structure equation modelling analysis was conducted on the performance metrics of 11 American universities from 2014-2021. Findings indicate that undergraduate research can predict the success of other high-impact practices in Florida. The results will guide administrators in higher education to make financial decisions with a reference to factors of high impact practices. Theoretical and practical implications are also presented.

Keywords: high-impact practices; influence factors; metrics; structure equation modelling; SEM.
