Improving college access and success among Black males has garnered tremendous attention. Many social scientists have noted that Black men account for only 4. 3% of the total enrollment at 4-year postsecondary institutions in the United States, the same percentage now as in 1976. Furthermore, two thirds of Black men who start college never finish.

This book offers those who engage in college student research a framework, tool, or guide for understanding the role that theory plays in research. It is organized around five major questions which address the essence of theory, central tenants and concepts of prevailing theories, and insights for future research.
