Description

Vincent Tinto's Completing College offers a coherent framework for administrators to develop and implement programs promoting student completion. Drawing from twenty years of research, Tinto identifies essential conditions enabling students to succeed within institutions. By pairing high expectations with structured academic, social, and financial support, providing frequent feedback, and promoting active involvement, institutions can create settings that foster student success. The classroom is identified as the primary target for institutional action, where students thrive in environments that balance high expectations with supportive structures. This book synthesizes the latest research, translating it into practical steps that administrators can take to enhance student success. By understanding these conditions and implementing them effectively, institutions can improve retention rates and promote completion among their students. Tinto's work provides a valuable resource for those seeking to address the issue of student non-completion in higher education.
