College Attrition at American Research Universities Comparative Case Studies

Hermanowicz asks an important question: Why do college student departure rates vary among elite institutions of higher learning in the United States? This book breaks new ground as this question has not been previously explored in an empirical way. An empirical treatment of this question is important both theoretically and practically. This volume makes a substantial contribution to the voluminous body of literature on college student departure. John M.
