“…The majority of work on early college is quantitative (Berger et al, 2010;Edmunds et al, 2010;Edmunds et al, 2012;Fischetti et al, 2011;Haxton et al, 2016;Janos et al, 1989;Oliver et al, 2010;Schumacker et al, 1995;Sethna et al, 2001;Shepard et al, 2009), though there is some qualitative work on early college as well Locke et al, 2014;Noble et al, 1999;Woodcock & Olson, 2013). With the goals of quantitative research being mainly generalizability and broadness (Polit & Beck, 2010), this implies a limited focus on lived experiences as explored by qualitative research.…”
