Community colleges in the 21st century fill a variety of important educational roles. Because of their geographic accessibility, open-door admission policies, and affordable tuition, community colleges also attract a diverse group of students. Researchers who have conducted retention studies on students of color have indicated that it is not only the educational institution’s responsibility to ensure success, but also the responsibilities of others (e.g., students, family, school administrators, faculty members, and staff) to ensure student success. Lack of education among students of color will continue to create inequality within the workforce in the United States. Thus, included in this review of the literature are discussions of the impact minority growth will have in the United States, the implications of growth on society, the impact of growth on student retention, Black students, Hispanic students, and the factors affecting student retention. A discussion of several studies on the need to improve minority retention is also included.
