Overview

As institutions face increasing pressure to improve graduation rates and reduce student dropout, student enrollment and retention remain critical challenges in higher education. Effective strategies require a comprehensive approach that supports learners throughout their academic journey. Factors like financial constraints, lack of academic preparedness, limited engagement, and inadequate support services often contribute to student dropouts. By implementing targeted enrollment practices, early intervention systems, personalized learning, and inclusive campus environments, colleges and universities can better identify at-risk students and provide the resources needed for success. A strong focus on retention may strengthen institutional performance and long-term sustainability. Student Enrollment and Retention Strategies to Reduce Dropout in Higher Education analyzes the transition between students entering university and their ability to graduate. It explores the complex, interconnected barriers that derail educational journeys, synthesizing global research and presenting evidence-based strategies institutions can implement to foster student retention, persistence, and success. This book covers topics such as student affairs, data science, and cognitive science, and is a useful resource for educators, academicians, researchers, and data scientists.
