Abstract:

<p> This study seeks to examine the role of presidential leadership in internationalization on historically Black college and university (HBCU) campuses. HBCUs comprise a small but important segment of U.S. higher education, as they are responsible for 20% of African American graduates in the country. Unfortunately, many of these institutions have yet to address the urgent need to internationalize their campus in a systematic, relevant way. This research study was conducted on the campuses of three public HBCUs working to advance internationalization. This study explores answers to the followi

Abstract:

This study examined, from a qualitative approach, the impact of vision, personal philosophies and ideologies on the institutional administration of selected HBCU presidents. The study was based on the premise that a president's vision directly influenced their ability to lead their institution as it related to the following areas: institutional administration, academic affairs, student affairs, personnel administration and financial management. The researcher found that vision had a direct and profound impact on the actions of the selected HBCU presidents and further found that each of the fiv

Abstract:

This thesis examines the extent and patterned use of alcohol and other drugs on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (one of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States) during the fall of 1990. The sample consisted of 245 upper (N=73) and lower (N=167) level students; 126 males and 119 females. The study has two major objectives: (1) The construction of a profile of the sample along three dimensions (demographic characteristics, use of alcohol and other drugs, and awareness of alcohol and other drugs); and, (2) Testing of the following hypotheses: (

Abstract:

The college graduation rates for African-Americans, as compared to other ethnic cohorts, remains at a continuous low level.

Abstract:

This study examines the role of Afrocentric curricula in higher education. Using four HBCU institutions (Dillard University, Hampton University, Howard University, and Spelman College) as a case study, the researcher selected the institutions on the basis of program quality and geographical spread. Program quality means the institutions must be accredited; geographical spread implies that the institutions must represent different parts of the country where HBCUs are concentrated.

The university has shown a rapid decline in its retention rate since the period 2008 - 2012. The purpose of this study was to identify students' perceptions of factors in their Historically Black

Abstract:

Academic persistence among African American college students has become an important issue due to the consistent lack of increase in the retention rates of these students. Despite the importance of this issue in the field of education, little has been done to study how family factors may influence college studentâ s academic success from a family science perspective. Further, students attending HBCUs are rarely utilized in empirical research even though HBCUs have proven to be effective in graduating African American students.

Abstract:

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) lag behind predominantly White institutions in their production of online courses and degree programs because of nonexistent or inadequate technology training for faculty members and limited financial resources. The purpose of this qualitative comparative case study was to obtain insight into how decisions are made on technology deployment and integration of online programs at HBCUs. Guided by Donaldson's contingency theory, this case study addressed how decisions are determined at HBCUs to integrate online learning programs into the curricu

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine and examine the impact of student support services (SSS) on academic success at a historically black college. The study was grounded in the theoretical framework of Astin’s Input-Environment-Outcome Model (IEO), Scholssberg’s theory of marginality, holistic theory , facilitation theory, and the theory of sensory simulation (Dunn, 2002; Anderson et. al., 2011; Dennick, 2014 and Pritchard, 2013) A mixed method approach was used to quantify and explicate triangulated data, which included the N-LSSI survey, archival data, and focus group interviews.

Abstract:

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have provided academic and social support to Black students; however, with an increase in White students attending HBCUs, HBCU leaders have been challenged to acquire a better understanding of the White student population to increase their retention and graduation rates. This phenomenological project study addressed how White undergraduate students' participation in curricular and extracurricular activities influenced their academic success. The conceptual framework included elements from Astin's involvement theory and Helms's White racial i

Abstract:

Trust in the workplace has been linked to higher levels of organizational performance and competitiveness. The imperative of variants of trust among a spectrum of institutional types, including colleges and universities, has been deemed to be considered essential for organizational effectiveness, stability and continuity. One variant, organizational trust, may be a particularly important factor during periods of exigency where exogenous forces may function to punctuate organizational equilibrium. This study focuses on organizational trust and associated variables (empowerment, resistance to ch

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the attributes that possibly influence the adjustment of white faculty at selected Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Texas. The results of this study may contribute to a research area that has not been thoroughly examined. The main objective of the study was to examine white faculty adjustment to their employment at an HBCU with respect to their interactions with the black student body, black faculty peers, black administrators, family and friends, commitment to HBCU missions, academic rank, tenure, age, and gender.
