Prior to September 11, 2001 (9/11) Muslim students traveled to the United States easily like other international students. Following 9/11, Muslim students from some Middle Eastern countries and parts of Africa, have been monitored by local police, immigration, and the FBI more often than other foreign students. Part of the reason students are monitored differently is because of some Americans' irrational fear of Muslim people (Islamophobia) that has been established through the negative images about terrorism and radical Islam that the media created. This qualitative, phenomenological study explored the lived experience of Muslim students matriculating universities in the United States after 9/11 and whether Islamophobia had a bearing on their persistence toward academic achievement. The students' perceptions resulted in seven final themes that included: (a) Fitting into American culture; (b) Tug between two cultures; (c) Prayer; (d) American education vs Middle Eastern education; (e) Friends, family, future goals; (f) American and Islamic mindset/terrorism, and (g) Islamophobia. The results from the study indicated a need for more understanding of Muslim students in academia. Recommendations for future research included research on immigrants attending universities, Muslims working in leadership on women working in academia, researching a larger student population, and researching faculty working with Muslim student.
