Latino graduate students' coping styles were explored within the context of their ethnic identity levels, perceptions of university environment, and perception of program racial microaggressions. Participants were 309 graduate students attending various universities. The student's collectivistic coping styles (Forbearance and Support Seeking) were each regressed on Racial Microaggressions (professor), Racial Microaggressions (peer), Ethnic Identity, and University Environment. It was determined that 10% of the total variance in Support Seeking and 8% of the total variance in Forbearance was accounted for by the predictor variables. Racial Microaggressions (Peer) and University Environment emerged as significant predictors of Forbearance; showing a positive relation between Racial Microaggressions (peers) and Forbearance and a negative relation between University Environment and Forbearance. This study demonstrated how the experiences of Latinos in higher education need to be further explored, especially within the construct of racial microaggressions. Students are experiencing racial microaggressions and ethnic identity may be overlooked as a strength and protective factor on the graduate school journey.
