This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose The purpose of this journal-ready dissertation was to examine the 1-year persistence rates of Hispanic community college students in Texas for the 2007-2008 through the 2013-2014 academic years. Specifically, the relationship of the 1-year persistence rates for Hispanic students as a function of their institutional status (id est, stayed or transferred) was analyzed. The 2-year persistence rates of Hispanic community colleges in Texas were also analyzed for the 2006-2007 through the 2012-2013 academic years. In addition, the graduation rates of Hispanic and White students in Texas community colleges from the 2008-2009 through the 2014-2015 academic years were examined. Furthermore, the degree to which a trend might be present in the graduation rates of Hispanic and White students at Texas community colleges was also ascertained. Method In this investigation, archival data from the Texas Higher Education Board Interactive Accountability system were downloaded and analyzed in each of the three empirical studies. Specifically, archival data were obtained for the 1-year and 2-year persistence rates of Hispanic Texas community college students. Graduation data were obtained for Hispanic and White students attending Texas community colleges. Findings Inferential statistics revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in the 1-year persistence rates of Hispanic students in Texas community colleges by institutional status in the 2007-2008, 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, and 2013-2014 academic years. Additionally, inferential statistics revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in the 2-year persistence rates of Hispanic students in Texas community colleges by institutional status in the 2006-2007 through the 2012-2013 academic years. The 1-year and 2-year persistence rates of Hispanic Texas community college students were higher when Hispanic students stayed at the same community college rather than when they transferred to a different community college. In regard to graduation rates, inferential statistical analyses revealed statistically significant differences in the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and the 2012-2013 academic years. Although both Hispanic and White students had low graduation rates from Texas community colleges, the average graduation rates of Hispanic students were lower than the average graduation rates of White students. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research were provided. The electronic version of this dissertation is accessible from http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11875/2174

This book was released on 2014 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore factors that may contribute to the persistence and graduation rates of African American and Hispanic undergraduate males enrolled at regional four-year public universities in Texas. African American and Hispanic males have lower graduation rates in both secondary and post-secondary education than their White peers (Swail, Cabrera, Lee & Williams, 2013; Harper, 2010). This study utilized a mixed methods research design. The quantitative portion of the study provides descriptive data to exhibit the historical four-year and six-year graduation rates of African American, Hispanic and White males within the regional university. The qualitative portion of the study investigated characteristics which exist among African American and Hispanic undergraduate males who have persisted and were retained at the university through their senior academic year. Focus groups interviews were administered which allowed the researcher to explore the perceptions of African American and Hispanic males regarding academic and non-academic factors that may have served as supports and/or barriers to their persistence. A thematic analysis was conducted to evaluate relationships that may have occurred. The research provides more information on academic and non-academic factors that served as supports and/or barriers to their ultimate graduation.

Book excerpt: The number and types of institutions of higher education are rapidly increasing, thus providing students with almost boundless options for higher education pursuits. At this time more than 50% of the regionally accredited, non-profit, four-year universities in the United States are private and the for-profit sector continues to grow. Since 1975 enrollments at private, non-profit institutions have risen from 2.3 to 3.9 million students of which over 335,000 are Hispanic/Latino students. And, for Hispanic/Latino students, graduation rates are highest at private, non-profit institutions where 62.4% of students graduate within 6 years. However, little research on Hispanic/Latino students has been done in this higher education setting where graduation rates are higher when compared to public and for-profit institutions. The current study intended to identify the demographic characteristics of Hispanic/Latino students who are attending regionally accredited, private, non-profit, non-traditional 4-year multi-campus commuter university. It further aimed to examine what factors impact their withdrawal decisions, and what has made private, non-profit institutions more successful in graduating students. In this study, data were collected anonymously through an online survey, which was comprised of a demographic questionnaire, the Family Cohesion scale (Rossman & Way, 1996), and the College Stress Scale (Feldt, 2008). The survey received 219 total responses, of which 202 were complete responses. Results showed that Hispanic/Latino students attending the university are older than traditional aged college students, mostly female, half were born outside the United States, live in Spanish speaking homes, are first generation living in the United States, have caregiver responsibilities for a family member(s), and work full or part time. The majority of respondents intended to remain enrolled in the university. Further analysis showed that student's intent to withdraw differ depending on age, gender, participant country of origin, and father's education. No significant relations of family support and college stress to student's intent to withdraw was found. Information garnered from this study helps the institution to better understand the profile of Hispanic/Latino students attending its campuses. This information can be used to better inform recruitment and retention strategies impacting all operational areas of the university and all phases of the enrollment management cycle. Furthermore this study identified institutional factors that motivated the intent to persist of these Hispanic/Latino students and, by doing so, adds to the limited literature on private, non- profit, non-traditional higher education institutions in the United States. Those institutional factors may be highlighted and strengthened by the university and considered for implementation by others.
