Abstract
The primary objective of this assessment was to ascertain strategies for enhancing student engagement within their chosen academic disciplines in the college setting. A comprehensive review of the extant academic literature revealed a multitude of advantages associated with heightened student involvement in their collegiate pursuits, alongside a nuanced exploration of the challenges and corresponding remedial measures pertinent to students' engagement within their declared majors. Furthermore, the researchers conducted a systematic inquiry into the intricate interplay of depression, stress, and financial constraints, and their ramifications on both student success and the degree of commitment exhibited within their chosen areas of study. Throughout this case study, the analysis not only draws attention to its findings but also offers implications for prospective research endeavors, thereby extending the discourse on strategies to foster and bolster student engagement. Furthermore, this inquiry contributes a set of recommendations for enhancing the overall level of student involvement, resonating within the milieu of academic disciplines and offering insights for the amelioration of the student experience.
