The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine whether utilizing a strengths-based intervention would improve academic outcomes and self-efficacy in low-income, first generation students. Of a random and diverse sample of 92 students, 47 took the Donald Clifton StrengthsFinder Survey and participated in a six-week strengths intervention program at a comprehensive university in southern California. All 92 participants received a pre and posttest Self-Efficacy survey. There was a significant difference in academic outcomes for those who participated in a strengths-based intervention. There was no significant difference in self-efficacy change scores for either group. Participation in the strengths-based treatment group was the strongest predictor of improved academic outcomes. Strengths-based interventions may contribute to academic practices by giving students positive information about themselves that they can apply academically and in their personal lives. Therefore, institutions of higher learning can incorporate strengths based interventions into orientation programs, transitional programs, leadership development, and course pedagogy to assist students with their academic achievement.
