“A central mission of higher education and the student affairs profession is to understand and support the success of an increasingly diverse student population. College Students in the United States consolidates foundational and new theory and research on college students, their experiences, and college outcomes that can provide educators and administrators with the knowledge needed to inform policies, program, curriculum, and practice. Accounting for the diversity of student demographics, institution types, and changing enrollment, the book examines a range of outcomes including student learning, development, and achievement. The authors also provide strategies in anticipation of higher education trends and guidance on developing skills needed in a world where understanding “College Students in the United States” is an ongoing mission” (Back Cover).
