ABSTRACT
Biracial and multiracial students—individuals who have parents from or claim membership in more than one racial group—are a growing presence on college campuses. 1 In fall 2013, 20 million students were enrolled in U.S. degree-granting postsecondary institutions, with 2.9% of U.S. resident students (over 559,000) placing themselves in the Two or More Races Category (National Center for Education Statistics, 2014). Evidence suggests that the development of racial identity among college students who are biracial or multiracial is in some ways similar to that of other students of Color but may differ somewhat from racial identity development among their monoracial peers (i.e., having parents from only one racial group; Brittian, Umaña-Taylor, & Derlan, 2013; Kellogg & Liddell, 2012; Renn, 2004; Rockquemore & Brunsma, 2002). flow these students make sense of their own racial identities in the context of increasingly diverse college campuses is an important matter for research and professional practice.
