520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Upward Bound program on African American student's retention and graduation rates in postsecondary institutions. This research study was guided by three questions (a) How do Upward Bound programs impact the graduation rates of African American students attending postsecondary institutions? (b) In what ways do African American students report that Upward Bound participation enhanced their college success? (c) How do Upward bound programs impact graduation rates for African American students who participate versus other students who do not participate in Upward Bound?
520 $a A qualitative design was used for this study with 25 upward bound participants and 25 non-Upward Bound participants at a small Southeastern college. Standardized open ended questions were used to collect data from each group.
520 $a Findings from the study revealed that students who participated in Upward Bound integrated very well at their respective schools and were able to graduate. Other results revealed that students who participated in precollege programs such Upward Bound performed better than non-Upward Bound students and that participation in Upward Bound may have had a direct correlation to college retention and degree attainment. Recommendations for further research are made in Chapter 5.
