Abstract	Investigation of orientation programs and African-American student retention, particularly within the community college sector, has long been neglected. This study specifically investigates the differences between an orientation course and student retention measures, for African-American student retention. Chi-square analysis revealed significant differences for orientation course enrollment, student retention, and persistence. (Contains 1 table.) (Author).
