The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the factors that academically successful African American male seniors at a Traditionally White Institution, the University of California, Santa Barbara, perceived as being important to their ability to be academically successful. The twelve African American males interviewed provided in-depth narratives regarding the factors that they considered to promote their academic success. Academic success was operationalized as a senior preparing to graduate with a 3.2 or better grade point average (GPA).

520 $a The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the factors that academically successful African American male seniors at a Traditionally White Institution, the University of California, Santa Barbara, perceived as being important to their ability to be academically successful. The twelve African American males interviewed provided in-depth narratives regarding the factors that they considered to promote their academic success. Academic success was operationalized as a senior preparing to graduate with a 3.2 or better grade point average (GPA).
520 $a This dissertation shares the narratives of twelve academically successful African American males pursuing undergraduate education at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Working within a phenomenological framework, the researcher investigated the factors that the students perceived as being important to their academic success. Critical race theory of education was one of the theoretical frameworks for this study, because it recognizes the role that racism has played in the American educational experiences of African Americans. Structured interviews, focus groups, observations, questionnaires and review of documents were utilized to capture the experiences of these students.
520 $a The data collection consisted of a three-stage process: A questionnaire, indepth interviews and three focus groups. Eight significant themes emerged from the data analysis: (a) Social support and guidance from significant others, (b) Spirituality, (c) The ability to understand and effectively deal with racism, (d) The knowledge and ability to successfully navigate the system, (e) Internal Control Ideology/Achievement Motivation, (f) a Preference for Long-term goals, (g) The impact of Leadership experiences, and (h) The Summer Transition Enrichment Program (STEP).
520 $a The results of the data analysis informed the conclusions, insights and recommendations for educators, administration, parents and policy developers to improve the American educational system for the benefit of all students, particularly African American males.
