Brown, Daniel A.; Soto, Julio G.; Anand, Sulekha; Weimer, Nicholas E.; Black, Victoria A. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2023
We examined three large freshman cohorts from Texas State University, a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), to identify risk factors that might affect academic retention. Risk factors supported by empirical studies such as first-generation, ethnicity, gender, financial aid need, high school performance, and living off campus were examined. We also…

Allen, Taryn Ozuna; Thompson, Melissa Laird; Collins, Shalun – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2022
This study examined how 10 Latinx students perceived their sense of belonging in engineering programs. Drawing upon Strayhorn's definition of sense of belonging, we sought to understand the experiences and individuals that facilitated Latinx students' connections to their engineering programs and to the larger campus community at a 4-year…

Moody, Shanna; Bowden, Randall; Brock, Jesse; Bunch, Phillis – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2022
Student retention has not changed in almost 40 years despite the plethora of attention. Maybe it is time to look at it differently. The study examines the relationships of parental education level, educational aspirations, and engagement. The National Survey of Student Engagement data were used in the analyses, but it raised questions about the…

Premraj, Divya; Thompson, Ruthanne; Hughes, Lee; Adams, Joshua – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2021
In this study, we identified factors influencing completion rates (graduation) of undergraduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We used hierarchical, logistic, and linear regression models to analyze the data and found significant predictor variable interactions across various underrepresented versus…

Ogilvie, Andrea M.; Knight, David B. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2021
Expanding and enhancing transfer pathways may help broaden participation in engineering. However, colleges of engineering have primarily focused their recruitment and retention efforts on students who matriculate directly from high school. Our research increases understanding of the transition experiences for engineering transfer students at…

Tobolowsky, Barbara F.; Cox, Bradley E.; Chunoo, Vivechkanand S. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2020
Inherent challenges affect first-generation students' persistence from as early as the first college year. Using cultural capital as a guide, this study is unique in that it investigates the contribution of first-year policies and programs to the success of first-generation students in 57 bachelor's degree-granting institutions across five states…

This qualitative study extends the research on postsecondary delay by examining the college experiences of six male nontraditional students from the North Texas area who purposefully postponed college education for 3 years after high school graduation to fulfill religious commitments. Unlike the majority of delayers, the participants successfully…

Wilson, Steffen P.; Gore, Jonathan S.; Renfro, Amanda; Blake, Marion; Muncie, Eric; Treadway, Jodi – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2018
The purpose of the studies reported here was to test the hypothesis that college students from cultures that emphasize strong family ties experience familial tethering or a pull to remain connected to home, which then has negative consequences on the student's ability to connect to and succeed at the university. In Study 1, it was found that…
