This study examines how campus culture is related to the development of students' abilities to think critically by analyzing qualitative data gathered at four strategically chosen case study institutions. Three elements are influential: the nature of an institution's epistemological orientation; its ability to instill responsibility and self-reflection in students; and fostering social and political awareness in them.
