Abstract

Due to socio-historical understandings of race in America and traditional methods of data collection and analysis, biracial undergraduate students' engagement in college remains unexplored. This research utilizes a national data set to shed light on the biracial student population and their engagement on campus. Findings problematize the ideology that biracial individuals are a monolithic group, fostering an overdue conversation concerning biraciality in higher education and providing critical implications for future research and practice.
