Exploring the Experiences and Retention Decisions of African-American Male College Students
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This qualitative study captured the stories of African-American male students, who participated in the African-American Male Initiative (AAMI) program at a predominantly White institution (PWI) in the south, to better understand how racial climate effected their college experiences and retention decisions. The data collected from this PWI revealed a steady increase in the African-American student enrollment and retention rate. However, the Black male student population has experienced a dramatic decrease in retention. Critical race theory and Tinto’s model for student departure provided theoretical framework for this study. In addition, a review of campus climate and the Black student college experience are included in the literature review. An adaption of Seidman’s (2019) three-interview series, or a semi-structured interview approach, was used to collect data from the participants. Using the research questions as a guide, the results of the study revealed that students enjoyed the opportunity to learn how to navigate through a diverse environment at a PWI and they learned to manage perceived racist behaviors by changing their perceptions. In addition, targeted programs for minorities, such as AAMI, proved to be a great network for support as students acclimated to college. Lastly, mindset was explored as an emerging theme. In addition to networks of support, mindset was shared as a reason that these students returned to this institution, and that the racial climate was not a factor. Evidence from the study provided a better understanding of the Black student experience at a PWI from the perspective of African-American male students. As a result, decision-makers may be better equipped to manage engagement and retention, especially for students of color.
