Understanding Latina and Latino College Choice

University of California, Los Angeles

Esta investigación examinó el proceso de selección de universidad para estudiantes latinas y latinos en el área de Los Ángeles a través de entrevistas y grupos de enfoque con 106 estudiantes de preparatoria. Usando la teoría de cadena de inmigración con un marco de capital social, los resultados indicaron que como estudiantes universitarios de primera generación, los participantes en esta muestra dependían fuertemente de hermanos, compañeros, parientes y contactos en preparatoria para planear sus metas universitarias, y considerar diferentes solicitudes.
