Current Work
Dr. Trolian's scholarship focuses on the educational experiences that influence learning and outcomes for students in Higher Education. Her research emphasizes two primary areas: (1) Higher Education experiences that contribute to college learning and outcomes, including classroom experiences and exposure to good teaching practices, interactions and experiences with faculty, experiences with applied and experiential learning, experiences with diversity, and out-of-class experiences; and (2) K-12 educational experiences that influence students' college choice decisions and experiences in Higher Education. She employs sociological and college impact frameworks to examine relationships between educational experiences and outcomes, and her methodological approaches are primarily quantitative, using large-scale, multi-institutional survey data to examine research questions.
