Eleventh Global Studies Conference

Abstract

This naturalistic study focuses on the immigration of “Dreamers” who are enrolled in United States colleges, how they were influenced in pursuing a college education, and their success in college. My research focuses on the immigration of undocumented “Dreamers” who are now enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. I explore their educational journey from elementary school to high school and now where they are in their pursuit of an American college degree. Included in this naturalistic research, I highlight variables that influence their quest for higher education as well as address their success in higher education. The population will come from Texas A&M University, the University of Houston, and the University of Saint Thomas.
