Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, College Student Personnel.
Although community colleges serve as a primary option for African Americans toobtain postsecondary education, there is little research available that discusses their interaction with the college or their satisfaction with academic advising. One hundred twenty-three students participated in this quantitative research study that sought to show how satisfied African American students were with the academic advising they had received at Northwestern Community College (a pseudonym). While statistical significance was limited to full-time students being more satisfied with developmental advising than part-time students, the results show how satisfied African American students were with academic advising overall and with 34 specific advising activities. Student suggestions for improving advising services are provided along with a discussion of the practical importance of the results. These findings suggest that African American students desire more exposure to developmental advising activities in the context of academic advising sessions and suggest that their satisfaction with academic advising overall may be linked to greater exposure of quality developmental advising activities.
