College Student Choice, Access, and Success

Catalog description

This course examines key theories and current research exploring access to higher education; college choice; and college student retention, persistence, and success. Drawing from relevant empirical and theoretical literature, students will develop a deeper understanding of the barriers to college access and success for today’s students. Special emphasis will be placed on examining college access and success through the lenses of race, class, gender, and ability. Students will apply their learnings by considering how to (re)design equity-informed interventions.
