Impact of Mandatory Advising on Retention and Persistence of Male African American and Latinx Community College Students
Abstract
This correlational research study examined the effects of mandatory advising on the
retention and persistence of African American and Latinx male community college students
who attended an urban community college in the Midwest. Additionally, the study also
examined the effects of mandatory advising on all males, African American and Latinx
students overall and all students. The study used data collected from two separate cohorts,
mandatory advising and non-mandatory advising. The retention and persistence of all groups
were analyzed using a Chi-square statistical analysis. The results of this study revealed that
there was statistical significance of p = .000 between mandatory advising of all students and
persistence and there was a statistical significance of p = .000 between the persistence of men
and mandatory advising.
