black college student study

This mixed-methods study is an investigation of the individual (i.e., ethnic racial identity, motivational, and well-being), interpersonal (i.e., social support from peers and parents and belongingness to peer social structures) and contextual (i.e., campus racial climate) factors that are related to Black college students' academic success. However, unlike traditional scholarship which often homogenizes Black collegians, we sought to create the first comprehensive, mixed methods dataset that captures and examines the nativity, ethnicity, generational status, and social class of Black collegians. This includes disaggregating Black student data by U.S. native-born students, immigrant students, and international students who anticipate being in the United States temporarily.
