Intellectual challenge is at the heart of a Beacon education. We take this very seriously, but we are also very practical about it. Our nine bachelor’s degree programs are intended to prepare our students to find worthy work in today’s global marketplace. Additionally, we encourage students to explore their diverse interests through one or more of our 17 minors.
“Pursuing the life abundant” is the pervading theme that infuses everything we do at Beacon College. It’s something we take very seriously indeed.
At Beacon, you’ll be able to be the most that you can be. Both within the classroom and far beyond it, we nurture a vivacious learning laboratory that calls upon you to seek and cherish all of life’s richness.
Issues Impacting The Retention & Persistence of College Students with Learning Disabilities & Other Challenges

Students who learn differently often have lower retention and persistence rates at colleges across the United States, yet little research has been done to fully explore the reasons why. While we know stigmatization is a cause, there are new perspectives on what drives the experience of students with learning differences in colleges. What other information may be useful to better understand issues related to retention? What should other colleges, teachers, parents, and students be more aware of as they navigate this milestone?
This session reviews leading theories behind issues related to retention, with suggestions about how to combat many of these challenges to ensure post-secondary success rates for students who learn differently.
