Introduction
Discuss the demographics of college students (the age they usually attend, how many are attending, and which schools they are selecting (community schools or living on campus at larger schools)
Emerging Adulthood (18-24 years old)- discuss this period; what are they usually experiencing during this time period?
What is the current research on the topic of depression among college students, and how does this impact their academic success? How prevalent is depression among those in this age group?
Why is this topic important, and how does depression impact college success (this will only be a general 1 or 2 sentences…you will elaborate in the body of your paper)
Depression

How does depression affect college students (traditional 18-24-year-old) different than the average person (hint, this age group may not show all of the classic symptoms, yet they can still be diagnosed with depression)?
How does depression affect men and women differently?
What does the research say about depression on College Campuses?
Who is it impacting on the campus?
How is it being diagnosed?

What does the research say about the relationship between depression among college students and academic outcomes?
Treatment

How are college health centers treating, or are they treating?
Academic Success
What is academic success, and how is it measured in college?
How long is it taking the average college student to complete a four-year degree?
What percentage of first-year college students are traditional (18 to 24 years old), nontraditional (began the first year of college after the age of 24, or perhaps they are married and/or have children), and how many are first-generation college students? You can discuss how each might relate to academic success, as outlined in the literature.
