Latina Baccalaureate Attainment: A Mixed Methods Case Study of a TRIO Intervention
Keyword(s):
Research demonstrates that Latinas are one of the most at-risk female demographics in higher education and have the lowest baccalaureate attainment rate of all female groups, especially at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). This case study of a TRIO intervention found that TRIO counselors’ consideration of life circumstances in planning academic schedules, brokering relationships with faculty and staff, promotion of academic accountability, and close personal relationships with Latina advisees boost Latina baccalaureate attainment. Findings demonstrate implications for enhancing retention rates and further research in Hispanic education attainment.
