Description: This resource gathers together in one volume the many theories informing the current understanding of students' intellectual, cognitive, social, moral, and identity development during the college years. It critically examines the recent body of theory that reflects the changes, complexity, and diversity of today's students, with special emphasis on gender and cultural differences in student development. Student Development in College is designed for those who work directly with students and will help them to design individual, group, and institutional approaches at various developmental levels to encourage student growth.
