Abstract	The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the effect of in-state resident tuition (ISRT) by the Maryland DREAM Act on student outcomes (awarded associate degrees, earned certificates, and retention) of undocumented immigrant students at a Maryland community college. Specifically, the study examined whether there were differences in educational outcomes between two cohorts of Maryland undocumented students at a Maryland community college before and after the Maryland Dream Act was passed in 2012. Retention theories, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Human Capital Theory (HCT) provided the theoretical framework for examining these variables. Inferential statistics were used to address the research questions and test the hypotheses. Descriptive statistics were used to classify and summarize demographic characteristics of undocumented immigrant post-secondary students. The results of this study, analyzed using Phi Coefficient (gyp) and Logistic Regression, revealed relatively moderate associations between student outcomes and the Maryland Dream Act of 2012. This study contributes to the limited body of literature that examines the influence of ISRT on student outcomes for undocumented immigrant students at public institutions. Recommendations for professional practice and further research are also provided. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
