Samuel D. Museus is Assistant Professor of Higher Education and an affiliate faculty member of the Asian American Studies Program at UMass Boston, where he teaches doctoral-level courses in qualitative and quantitative research methodology, the impact of college on students, and college students of color. His scholarship is focused on college access and success among underserved student populations. Specifically, his current research is aimed at understanding the role of institutional environments in minority college student adjustment, engagement, and persistence. He has produced over 40 journal articles, book chapters, and national conference presentations focused on understanding the institutional factors that shape the experiences and outcomes of racial/ethnic minority students. These include peer-reviewed articles accepted in The Review of Higher Education, Teachers College Record, the Journal of College Student Development, and the Journal of College Student Retention. His books include Using Qualitative Methods in Institutional Assessment (2007) and Conducting Research on Asian Americans in Higher Education (Summer of 2009).
