Barriers to Bachelor's Degree Completion among College Students with a Disability
One of the fastest growing groups on college campuses is students with disabilities, but their rates of bachelor's degree completion remain low. We build on research about barriers to degree completion among historically underrepresented groups on college campuses to examine the extent to which academic preparation before college and processes during college contribute to gaps in bachelor's degree completion among four-year college students with …

Using the Beginning Postsecondary Students Lo…
