This article reports on a research authored by University of Pennsylvania's Dr. Shaun Harper that sought answers on how Black males adapt and succeed in college. Harper's National Black Male College Achievement Study is the largest-ever empirical study of Black male undergraduates. Partly launched when he was a Ph.D. student at Indiana University several years ago, Harper later completed the bulk of survey work from early 2005 to summer 2006. Traveling each week while teaching courses at Pennsylvania State University, Harper conducted two- to three-hour individual interviews with most of the 219 students on their respective campuses. The subjects were enrolled in 42 colleges and universities in 20 states. The respective schools fall into six categories, including historically Black public institutions, historically Black private institutions and highly selective, private research universities. Harper hoped that his research would provide solutions to raising low Black male college enrollment and completion rates.
