Abstract Details

2002, Master of Education, University of Toledo, Higher Education.
Non-traditional students are attending post secondary institutions in the United States in record numbers. The college choice decision process of these students has attracted little research when compared to the existing research base for traditional-age students. During the 2000 academic year, nontraditional students at nine private colleges and universities were studied to determine aspects of the college selection process that These students considered important. Students also revealed their level of concern over financing educational costs along with their primary sources of funding. The students, all of whom were employed full-time and attending college classes during the evening, also provided self-reported data on their personal and professional objectives for continuing post-secondary education. Students considered the academic reputation of an institution and the convenience factors associated with their program of choice as important factors in their enrollment decision.
