ABSTRACT This paper examines previous literature to provide an overview of Latina/o students in higher education, with an emphasis on the community college and Latina/o student-athletes. While the majority of Latina/o students who pursue a public postsecondary education after high school begin in community college with aspirations to transfer, few transfer to four-year colleges. The paper discusses four key obstacles present in transfer pathways, which include part-time enrollment, financial challenges, academic preparation and invalidation, and a lack of access to transfer information. Recommendations include the need for more research that examines Latina/o experiences and the influence of college athletic programs and also the need for national community college athletic programs to collect and publish student-athlete data disaggregated by race, and postsecondary sector. Addressing the dearth in research and institutional data would support both researchers and educators to foster asset-based approaches that aim to increase the number of Latina/o student-athletes enrolling in and completing community college.

Latinas / os的中学后教育途径：社区大学学生体验的回顾

摘要本文研究了以前的文献，以概述高等教育中的拉丁裔/非裔学生，重点是社区学院和拉丁裔/非裔学生运动员。虽然大多数在高中毕业后接受公立中学教育的拉丁裔学生都希望转学到社区大学，但很少有学生转学到四年制大学。本文讨论了转学途径中存在的四个主要障碍，包括非全日制入学，财务挑战，学术准备和无效以及缺乏获取转学信息的途径。建议包括需要进行更多的研究来研究拉丁裔/邻国的经历以及大学体育项目的影响，还需要国家社区大学体育项目来收集和发布按种族分类的学生运动员数据，和中学后的部门。解决研究和机构数据不足的问题，将支持研究人员和教育工作者共同开发基于资产的方法，旨在增加注册和完成社区大学的拉丁裔/女运动员的数量。
