The Journal of Access, Retention, and Inclusion in Higher Education
Mission:
The Journal of Access, Retention, and Inclusion in Higher Education supports research in the areas of developmental education, access, retention, inclusion, and student success in higher education. Contributors provide scholarly research, practical insight, and accounts of best practices to support students from traditionally underrepresented, first generation, and other marginalized communities. Readership includes faculty, program managers, legislators and college/university senior leadership.
Editorial Statement:
The Journal of Access, Retention and Inclusion in Higher Education (JARIHE) is a peer-reviewed scholarly publication, which utilizes a double-blind peer review process.
Please note: We are particularly interested in manuscripts that focus on the many crises currently facing students, faculty and staff in higher education. Manuscripts can be ethnographic and tell stories of ways in which students have been supported during times of crises. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative reports are welcome. As always, we also welcome manuscripts which share best and promising practices as it pertains to student success programs and initiatives. This applies to all students and not only those in developmental programs. This does not exclude scholarly research, practical insights or best practices focused on developmental education programs. In short, manuscripts focused on developmental and non-developmental programs in two-year and four-year institutions are welcome. Please note: submissions by graduate students are also encouraged. Graduate students who are co-authoring with a faculty member are encouraged as well.
As such, we welcome work from scholars and administrators who are familiar with two-year or four-year colleges/universities who have engaged with or conducted research that examines student success from the following perspectives:
- Supporting students during times of crisis
- College retention, persistence and graduation rates
- Honors and content specific student success initiatives (STEM, Business, etc.)
- Developmental courses

- Issues of access and inclusion in higher education
- Challenges and triumphs related to URM, first generation and other marginalized communities
