In this landmark work, Kenneth Feldman and Theodore Newcomb review
and synthesize the findings of more than 1,500 studies conducted
over four decades on the subject. Writing in 1991, Ernest
Pascarella and Patrick Terenzini maintained that The Impact of
College on Students not only provided the first comprehensive
conceptual map of generally uncharted terrain, but also generated a
number of major hypotheses about how college influences students.
They also noted that Feldman and Newcombe helped to stimulate a
torrent of studies on the characteristics of collegiate
institutions and how students change and benefit during and after
their college years from college attendance. The Impact of College
on Students is now a standard text in graduate courses as well as a
standard and frequently cited reference for scholars, students, and
administrators of higher education. Much of what we understand
about the developmental influence of college is based on this work.
