Abstract

The following research will assist in better understanding if gender, major, and technology use influences success rates among the Latino-ethnic undergraduate students in a Hispanic Serving Institution. The site chosen to be studied was located in a southern region of Texas and in a highly impoverished area. A previously administered instrument was administered after permission to use the instrument was sought out and granted. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was utilized due to its assumption requirements. A convenient sample was created. Findings indicate more females, criminal justice majors, who used technology at higher rates, had higher grade point averages. PSPP posed a limitation and future researchers should seek out mixed methods to better understand the variables that influence success rates among Latino-ethnic students in college. Specifically, how technology assists with success rates, how gender influences success rates, and how and why criminal justice majors have higher success rates in higher education institutions.
