College Student Self-Efficacy Research Studies builds upon the usefulness of both quantitative and qualitative research methods and integrates them by providing valuable findings on self-efficacy constructs among a diverse group of college students.

College Student Self-Efficacy Research Studies offers three uniquely designed sections that provide a unique mixture of research studies conducted on African American, Mexican American, and first-generation college students. This book explores a variety of factors affecting a diverse group of college students including institutional commitment, college adjustment, and social and academic self-efficacy barriers.

Terence Hicks is the dean of the Whitlowe R. Green College of Education and a tenured full professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling at Prairie View A&M University. Michael McFrazier is the vice president for administration at Prairie View A&M University.
