| Abstract
|
:
|
Arab American and Muslim students’ population growth on campuses has been very rapid, which in turn has required comprehensive planning to accommodate the needs of this minority. Documented experiences of Arab American and Muslim students are underrepresented in research literature and lag behind every other minority, despite the fact that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States. With all the challenges facing Arab American and Muslim students in our society, it is important to ensure their ability to sustain a positive attitude toward their religion, culture, and college education to prevent imminent problems such as cultural conflict, dropouts, and non-integration into higher education. This study examined the influence of social, religious, institutional, and cultural factors on Arab American and Muslim Students’ transition from high school to postsecondary education in northern New Jersey. Using qualitative methodology, Arab American and Muslim students from two higher education institutions were given the opportunity to describe their perceptions regarding their transition experience from high school to college. The findings of this study were drawn from face-to-face interviews of 24 participants and a demographic questionnaire.
