Abstract:
The literature on advising and retention of students has overwhelmingly identified academic advising as an important factor in the retention and enrichment of college students. Recent research has indicated a need for information in the area of identifying essential characteristics which would assist in establishing a "quality" advising relationship. An open-ended question format has been proposed to determine what type of relationship the student prefers with a faculty advisor. The objective of this study was to identify specific advising characteristics that are perceived as important to students.
