- Summary:
-
Specific access and retention studies and programs focused on minority students at the undergraduate level are reviewed, along with recent research on general retention efforts. General retention strategies concern: pre-enrollment, admissions, financial aid, orientation, academic programs, faculty-student interaction, counseling and advising, career development, campus activities, and housing. Characteristics of students that are related to college student attrition are also identified, including low-level parental education, being from a small town, poor high school record, and poor study habits. College characteristics that are linked to student attrition include: being public or two-year, located in the West or Southwest, and lack of student/college fit. The diversity of access and retention strategies for minorities are also arrayed in matrix form and keyed to a list of references. The strategies are categorized as educational, financial, or personal and are specified for the following educational levels: high school, prefreshman, freshman, sophomore/transfer, and senior/graduate. A multifaceted and campuswide approach to minority student access and retention is recommended. (SW)
