Examining the Precollege Attributes and Values of Latina/o Bachelor's Degree Attainers
Cerna, Oscar S.; Perez, Patricia A.; Saenz, Victor
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v8 n2 p130-157 2009
This article focuses on understanding successful Latina/o college student retention at 4-year institutions. Deficit models fail to consider how Latina/o students use different forms of capital (i.e., social, cultural, economic, and human) in earning a degree. Using data from the UCLA's Cooperative Institutional Research Program, factors associated with Latina/o degree attainment within 6 years were investigated. This article will be of interest to educators and policy makers committed to increasing college access and retention for Latina/o students. (Contains 1 table, 3 figures, and 1 note.)
