The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore male student persistence at Central Technical College (CTC), a small public, two-year technical college in Wisconsin. Across the United States, there had been a surge in college enrollments during the recent recession. Interestingly, college enrollment and persistence of females has grown while that of males has diminished. Reduced student enrollment and persistence is a rising concern for higher education. The following questions help guide this research: What factors (experiences, services, and events) do male students report most helped them to persist at CTC? According to reports of the students themselves, what factors most differentiate male persistence strategies versus female persistence strategies? This research was guided by Stahl and Pavel's Community College Retention Model (1992) and elements of Bean and Metzner's Undergraduate Student Attrition Model (1985). Data were collected from seven males and seven females (n = 14) using two groups of students. The two groups of students included two focus groups of students preparing to graduate (one male and one female) and individual interviews conducted with two college administrators. Each participant agreed to provide basic personal background information using a demographic data collection instrument. In this report, the data is analyzed by taking individuals' statements, categorizing them based on the research questions, and then coding accordingly. Themes are organized using identified codes. Presented are the most prominent factors that positively contribute to persistence. Identified are student gender and goal attainment differences observed during the educational process. This case study on the topic of male student persistence at two-year institutions could be used to develop future studies on how to better engage male students to achieve academic success.
