Samenvatting

From the author of Four Critical Years––a book the Journal of Higher Education called the most cited work in higher education literature––What Matters in College? presents the definitive study of how students change and develop in college and how colleges can enhance that development. Based on a study of more than 20,000 students, 25,000 faculty members, and 200 institutions, the book shows how academic programs, faculty, student peer groups, and other variables affect students′ college experiences.
