Recruitment and Retention Strategies for Latino Students in Tennessee's Private 4-year Institutions
Doctoral Dissertation at Lipscomb University
The purpose of this research study was to identify the strategies utilized by colleges and universities to recruit, retain, and graduate Latino students. This study specifically explored the self-reported enrollment and retention strategies and their perceived effectiveness by the 34 member institutions of the Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA). It further sought to identify the factors that currently enrolled Latino students perceived as influential in their decision to enroll and persist in their chosen TICUA member institution. The study followed a qualitative design, utilizing case study methodology to collect detailed information through focus groups and in-depth interviews. Five themes emerged from the interviews with faculty, staff, and administration: Administrative Commitment, Relationships, Financial Commitment, Intentional, and Student Support. Four themes emerged from the focus groups with persisting Latino students at the case study sites: Financial Incentives, Institutional Fit, Campus Community, and Influences. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended TICUA member institutions implement the following strategies to improve their recruitment, enrollment, and retention of Latino students: Demonstrate commitment to serving the Latino population; Provide financial aid specific to Latino students; Create a multicultural affairs department; Develop community partnerships; and, Increase the cultural competency of faculty and staff.
