College Student Self-Efficacy Research Studies

Terence Hicks is the dean of the Whitlowe R. Green College of Education and a tenured full professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling at Prairie View A&M University. Michael McFrazier is the vice president for administration at Prairie View A&M University.

“What Hicks and McFrazier offer in this critically important tome not only adds to the empirical research literature on self-efficacy among Black college student cohorts, but also situates while at the same time foregrounds the relevance of efficacious behaviors for these cohorts in a diverse array of higher education contexts. The cutting-edge scholarship in this book is certain to spark discourse on this topic for many years to come.”
