In this book, the authors bring together in one place essential
information about college students in the US in the 21st century.
Synthesizing existing research and theory, they present an
introduction to studying student characteristics, college choice
and enrollment patterns, institutional types and environments,
student learning, persistence, and outcomes of college.
Substantially revised and updated, this new edition addresses
contemporary and anticipated student demographics and enrollment
patterns, a wide variety of campus environments (such as
residential, commuter, online, hybrid), and a range of outcomes
including learning, development, and achievement. The book is
organized around Alexander Astin's Inputs-Environment-Outputs
(I-E-O) framework. Student demographics, college preparation, and
enrollment patterns are the ""inputs."" Transition to college and
campus environments are the substance of the ""environment."" The
""outputs"" are student development, learning, and
retention/persistence/completion. The authors build on this
foundation by providing relevant contemporary information and
analysis of students, environments, and outcomes. They also provide
strategies for readers to project forward in anticipation of higher
education trends in a world where understanding "college students
in the United States" is an ongoing project. As a starting point
for those who seek a foundational understanding of the diversity of
students and institutions in the US, the book includes discussion
points, learning activities, and further resources for exploring
the topics in each chapter.
