The study tested a predominantly white institutional (PWI)-based theory of student persistence in two residential historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Findings suggest that theories developed at PWIs, such as the model tested in this study, are relevant for understanding student persistence at minority serving institutions like HBCUs, but may benefit from the addition of HBCU-specific constructs and models for a more complete picture.
The prevailing theories of student persistence have been developed in Predominantly White Institutional (PWI) contexts. The extent to which these theories-in whole or in part-apply to Minority Serving Institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) has not been studied in depth. This study tests a PWI-based theory of student persistence in residential colleges and universities at two residential HBCUs. Four-hundred and fifty-one residential students completed a survey testing the theory, and then administrative data were used to link student persistence data. Findings suggest that theories developed at PWIs-such as the model tested in this study-hold salience for understanding student persistence at Minority Serving Institutions such as HBCUs. However, a complete picture of student persistence at HBCUs may benefit from the addition of HBCU-specific constructs and models.
