Book Synopsis
Despite a myriad of academic support programs, only 50 percent of U.S. students entering higher education actually earn a bachelor's degree. This volume contains 11 contributions from leading educators examining a number of areas critical to the retention of college students. In the final chapter, Seidman describes a formula for helping students to successfully complete their education that is based upon early, intensive, and continuous intervention. Seidman is editor of the quarterly Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory, and Practice. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
