Thesis (M.S.)--Oklahoma State University, 2013.

The purpose of this study is to explore and understand how undocumented students construct their sense of reality as college students by retaining positive feelings toward higher education. Given their college experience is shaped by their undocumented status limiting their access to such things as financial aid, scholarships and loans, how do they reconcile the contradictions of their college experience given their undocumented status? The participants in this study were between the ages of 18 and 27 who have or are currently attending a suburban college. Many undocumented students decide to risk pursuing higher education despite knowing that upon completing a degree, it will still be difficult to find work in the United States. Currently, only twelve of the fifty states allow undocumented students to pursue higher education paying in-state tuition if certain criteria are met. Using primary data collected from archives, legal documents and ten in-depth, semi-structured interviews, this study uses a symbolic and phenomenological framework. During the course of this study, Deferred Action was announced which further complicates their lives given it only grants a two year window for work with no promise of amnesty or hope of legal residency. The results reconfirm previous themes that have been discussed in previous literature and research, but also indicate a need for future research to establish a better understanding of the experiences of undocumented students.
