Abstract
The majority of Latinos continue their education by attending a two-year college after high school instead of going directly to a four-year university. Unfortunately, less than twenty percent of these students are able to transfer to a four-year institution (Haro, 2008), statistics that exemplify the fact Latinos are not succeeding in higher education. Education is important and a crucial element in the progression of any community in the United States (Guerrero-Avila, 2001). The effects of undereducated Latinos for California and the United States will be that the nation will have an undereducated population unable to compete with other countries (Abergo, 2008).
