| How Can Colleges Attract More Men? |
|
Young women have outpaced young men in college enrollment since the late 1980s. However, in the last couple of years, the gender gap has widened enough to alarm state education boards, researchers, and higher-education policy wonks. Part of the challenge stems from outside forces that keep men from applying to college in the first place. For some men, joining the military or the workforce wins out over earning a degree.
The Missing Men on Campus features news stories, analysis, advice, and opinion essays covering how some colleges are trying to draw more men of all backgrounds — and help them succeed once they get there.
