Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify current institutional practices at two Hispanic-serving community colleges that may have caused attrition and affected retention among first-year Hispanic students. The objective was to determine which programs and services have been most effective at the respective community college campuses in assisting first-year Hispanic students in completing their degree programs. While there have been many retention initiatives implemented, little evidence exists as to whether those efforts are effective. To gain a better understanding of how effective or ineffective each practice has been, an exploration of the views of Hispanics in 2-year colleges was conducted.
