Abstract
Approximately one third of all undergraduate students in the United States today are first-generation students—that is, students with parents whose highest level of education was high school. This article examines the characteristics of first-generation students, identifies reasons why they are at risk for attrition, and offers specific strategies for improving their rate of college completion.
