Abstract:

Although the success and persistence of college students is critical to the reputation and stability of institutions across the United States, institutions may lack an understanding of why their students persist. Prior research suggests that students persist due to a variety of factors ranging from their pre-college educational experiences, academic goals, and sense of belonging at the college. Qualitative data from narrative interviews supported previous research about the college student experience regarding connection, academics, and engagement. The findings of this study are being used to develop tools for practitioners regarding persistence.
