Undocumented Students in Higher Education (SC)

Research on higher education support for undocumented students

About this Guide

This research guide represents an ongoing effort to gather current research on how colleges and universities support and think about undocumented students. In presenting this selection of recent research, we aim to complement the resources on Swarthmore’s DACA and Undocumented Students page and Sanctuary at Swarthmore, which link to organizations and programs that support undocumented students. As new research is made available, we will continue to add and update this guide.

We’ve divided the guide into the following sections:

  • Qualitative research on undocumented students' experiences
  • Institutional case studies
  • Dissertations
  • Guides, flyers and promotional materials made publicly available by colleges and universities
  • Books
