More than a quarter of the students who enter four-year institutions and half of those who enter two-year schools depart at the end of their first year. This phenomenon is known as the ‘departure puzzle, ‘ and for years, the most important body of work on student retention has come from sociologist Vincent Tinto.
The contributors, including Tinto himself, offer a variety of both theoretical and methodological perspectives to the Student Departure Puzzle.
