Description
Tinto's theory of educational departure and Ogbu's theory of oppositional culture provide the theoretical framework for this study. This study also uses a multi-level approach, examining whether institutional-level characteristics significantly affect the relationship between student-level characteristics. Specifically, I examine how the racial composition of the college affects the relationship between social support and academic performance.
