Cultivating Excelencia: Empowering Hispanic Student Success in Private Christian Universities

Abstract

This study centers on conducting quantitative analysis to advance the success of Hispanic students within 4-year, private Christian universities, accommodating undergraduate and graduate online learners. The higher education landscape is transforming, marked by the rapid expansion of the online Hispanic student demographic within these institutions. The study’s core focus is to mitigate disparities in educational outcomes among Hispanic students through quantitative methodologies. The conceptual framework is based on Excelencia in Education, underscoring the importance of evidence-based practices in empowering Latino student achievement. The study will examine the implementation and impact of Title V federal funding programs tailored to enhance Hispanic students’ educational experiences and outcomes. A quantitative approach will be employed to analyze institutional data, assessing variables such as retention rates, graduation rates, and academic achievement concerning Hispanic students. The primary focus is on accumulating quantitative evidence to understand the effectiveness of Title V initiatives in driving success within this distinctive higher education context. The implications of this research primarily center on bolstering the quantitative comprehension of how Title V funding can strategically contribute to cultivating excellence in Hispanic student success within private Christian universities. The research findings will furnish quantitative insights that can serve as a compass for these institutions, aiding in developing and refining Title V programs that cater to the distinctive quantitative needs and aspirations of their online Hispanic learners. This research represents a significant stride towards advancing equity and academic excellence in higher education by empowering Hispanic student success in private Christian universities through data-driven analysis.
