| Abstract | Between the years 2012 and 2013, Black students in U.S. postsecondary institutions persisted to graduation in Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees at a rate that was 56 percent lower than White college students. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to gain insight and understanding of how factors of campus climate, racial stereotypes, and perceived faculty interest in student development influence the decision to persist towards degree attainment for recent Black graduates from a PWI. The sample included 54 Black participants between the ages of 18 and 65 who have graduated from predominantly White institutions of higher education (PWIHE) between the years of 2008 and 2017. Data was collected through two phases, employing an online survey followed by follow-up phone interviews. Participant recruitment for the online survey was promoted to 7,429 potential participants. Fifty-four participants completed the survey and 39 volunteered to participate in the follow-up phone interview. The data collected provided similarities and differences among the participants for comparison analyses. Data was organized based on positive and negative factors of campus climate, racial stereotypes, and perceived faculty interest in student development influenced persistence to degree attainment for Black students attending PWIHE. Results suggested that several factors of campus climate, racial stereotypes, and perceived faculty interest in student development influenced degree attainment among the research participants. However, results revealed that several factors of campus climate, racial stereotypes, and perceived faculty interest in student development did significantly contribute to influencing the decisions to persist to degree attainment for participants in this study. Recommendations proposed that PWIHE offer social integration training for faculty and staff, that are customized to provide strategies and insight into meeting the complex social and academic needs of Black college students; encourage Black students to join college student-based organizations; and future research into Black college student persistence to degree attainment in PWIHE.
