Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The economics of American higher education are driven by one key factor--the availability of students willing to pay tuition--and many related factors that determine what schools they attend. By digging into the data, economist Nathan Grawe has created probability models for predicting college attendance. What he sees are alarming events on the horizon that every college and university needs to understand. Overall, he spots demographic patterns that are tilting the US population toward the Hispanic southwest. Moreover, since 2007, fertility rates have fallen by 12 percent. Higher education analysts recognize the destabilizing potential of these trends. However, existing work fails to adjust headcounts for college attendance probabilities and makes no systematic attempt to distinguish demand by institution type. This book analyzes demand forecasts by institution type and rank, disaggregating by demographic groups. Its findings often contradict the dominant narrative: while many schools face painful contractions, demand for elite schools is expected to grow by 15+ percent. Geographic and racial profiles will shift only slightly--and attendance by Asians, not Hispanics, will grow most. Grawe also use the model to consider possible changes in institutional recruitment strategies and government policies. These "what if" analyses show that even aggressive innovation is unlikely to overcome trends toward larger gaps across racial, family income, and parent education groups. Aimed at administrators and trustees with responsibility for decisions ranging from admissions to student support to tenure practices to facilities construction, this book offers data to inform decision-making--decisions that will determine institutional success in meeting demographic challenges"--

Book excerpt: Nontraditional students are a growing and changing population of students that encompass a wide variety of demographics and have many external factors that contribute to their academic and social success. Institutions are meant to be a tool for social transformation, and as more nontraditional students move towards higher education, they are proving that lifelong learning is an essential aspect of human development not only for personal goals, but also for social, cultural, and economic purposes (Baptista, 2013). Institutions need to promote success for all students by continuously adjusting themselves to an always emergent and ever changing reality. Colleges will need to find and use best practices to guide nontraditional students in their academic and social success. Although their needs, motivations, and level of engagement may vary from traditional students, the overall mission of an institution is to create successful, well rounded, holistically developed citizens. Institutions would greatly benefit from creating a space that helps develop these students through the use of a center. A nontraditional center would allow practitioners to combine many of the best practices that can aid students in their college experience. Nontraditional student enrollment trends are unlikely to change in the future and investing in a space that addresses the factors and barriers that can inhibit degree attainment will be necessary for success. This master's report will include the current enrollment trends of higher education, the differing characteristics of nontraditional and traditional students, history of nontraditional student enrollment, barriers and challenges to success, motivations to attend higher education, theoretical frameworks outlining success of nontraditional students and their adult identity development, how to promote nontraditional student success, and best practices that outline the characteristics of an ideal center.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite decades of substantial investments by the federal government, state governments, colleges and universities, and private foundations, students from low-income families as well as racial and ethnic minority groups continue to have substantially lower levels of postsecondary educational attainment than individuals from other groups. The State of College Access and Completion draws together leading researchers nationwide to summarize the state of college access and success and to provide recommendations for how institutional leaders and policymakers can effectively improve the entire spectrum of college access and completion. Springboarding from a seminar series organized by the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, chapter authors explore what is known and not known from existing research about how to improve student success. This much-needed book calls explicit attention to the state of college access and success not only for traditional college-age students, but also for the substantial and growing number of "nontraditional" students. Describing trends in various outcomes along the pathway from college access to completion, this volume documents persisting gaps in outcomes based on students’ demographic characteristics and offers recommendations for strategies to raise student attainment. Graduate students, scholars, and researchers in higher education will find The State of College Access and Completion to be an important and timely resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Nontraditional African-American Students' College Choice and Adult Transition At an HBCU written by Barry Carmichael and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study was a qualitative descriptive design to understand the college choice selection of nontraditional African-American students and experiences related to the adult transitional processes of college enrollment. The guiding framework was Iloh's enhanced Hossler-Gallagher model of the decision-making process used for college choice selection as it applied to nontraditional students and the 4S model of the Schlossberg transition theory. The problem was that as the nontraditional student population continued to increase within educational institutions, it was imperative to understand the rationale for college enrollment decisions and the transitional experiences of this student population. The researcher focused on the perspectives of African American nontraditional students attending a historically Black college or university. Participants included 27 African-American students who attended a private liberal arts HBCU in central Alabama. The 10 male and 17 female African American participants were interviewed using 11 interview questions to gain an understanding of their lived experiences. This research study added value to the body of knowledge of services and offerings of educational institutions serving this population at HBCUs and for all institutions with nontraditional students in general. The issues that influenced the college choice of nontraditional African-American students who enrolled in an HBCU were what worked best for their schedule and most easily allowed them to continue to meet their obligations to children, family, and work. Other factors, such as the college being reputable and one offering a degree plan in their major, were also required. The fact that the college was an HBCU was important to some; the opportunity to learn about African American history and culture was especially exciting, but this was not the determining factor for others. Some participants believed their transition could have been better with some key concerns addressed by the college, specifically for nontraditional students. Many concerns could be addressed with more communication and programs directly for nontraditional students. Overall, most student participants attending this HBCU felt that they were receiving a good education that allowed them to pursue their goal of providing a better life for themselves and their families.
