Theoretical Frameworks in College Student Research is an important volume that breaks new ground on the critically important role that frameworks play in designing and conducting research in postsecondary contexts. Future generations of scholars will be indebted to Professor Strayhorn for plainly explaining this often complex and complicated issue.

Bravo to Dr. Strayhorn for writing an accessible text that could rightly serve as a “how-to” manual of sorts for those who are interested in using theoretical frameworks in educational research but, heretofore, have struggled to find good examples of just how to do so. A must-read for those interested in studying college students in the 21st and future centuries.
