The literature on college choice is extensive and navigating it for purposes of review is complicated by the dual meaning given to the word choice. To clarify, in this article, the phrase "college choice" refers to the concept defined by Don Hossler and Karen Gallagher in their seminal 1987 article entitled "Studying Student College Choice." This literature review examines articles that explore the criteria used by African American students when selecting which college to attend. These articles speak specifically to the debate about whether admissions should recruit African American students as a separate segment or as part of a mainstream enrollment effort. This topic is relevant to those looking to positively influence the yield rate among admitted students of color.
