Product Description
This sweeping resource gathers together in one volume the diverse body of theory informing our understanding of students' intellectual, cognitive, social, moral, and identity development during the college years. It critically examines the recent body of theory that reflects the changes, complexity, and diversity of today's campuses with special emphasis on gender and cultural differences in student development.

5 out of 5 stars Not a text I'm selling back   August 1, 2007
This was a required text for a graduate class and I thought it was good enough to keep. It is a great introductory book that provides a good look at many of the different theories. It is true that it is not really deep, but that is what makes it a good introductory book. It goes just deep enough to help you understand.


5 out of 5 stars A Good Introductory Textbook   February 1, 2007
This is a required text for my graduate class, but it does a good job of introducing student development theory


5 out of 5 stars Very Pleased   October 7, 2005

Book arrived in record time...just in time for my class so I was very pleased. It was also in great shape and very well packaged. Thanks.


3 out of 5 stars Theory Light   April 22, 2004
  5 out of 6 found this review helpful

I applaud the authors' attempt to provide an accessible, easy to understand synthesis of student development theory, but they have sacrificed depth for breadth and left the reader with a text that, like over-processed food, provides some nutrition but ultimately fails to satisfy. The book is below the level of most master's degree students and practitioners in student affairs, though it might provide a useful introduction to theory for undergraduates or a useful reference book for administrators who don't have time to read original sources.


5 out of 5 stars excellent overview   February 18, 2001

I also used this book in my graduate program. This book provides an excellent overview student development theory. It is an excellent introductory text. I had the added benefit of using this text in a course taught by one of the authors.
