Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, we examine the ways student services professionals in institutions of higher education can best meet the needs of adult learners. Most of the discussion here is situated in four-year colleges and universities, although we recognize that community colleges play a large role in the higher education of adults. However, we made the decision to focus on four-year and post-graduate institutions because we believe that these institutions often are focused on traditional-aged students despite growing adult enrollments, and are most in need of guidance about how to serve this ever-growing population. Students in higher education often are defined as "adult learners" or "non-traditional students" if they are 25 twenty-five years of age or older, and, more significantly, if they have taken on what we consider adult roles and responsibilities, such as caring for children and other family members, working full-time, or participating heavily in community activities. Adult students typically are not focused on campus life in the same way that younger, "traditional-aged" students are. Therefore, our theories of the importance of the campus experience outside the classroom to student development usually do not hold for adults. Yet, adults can and do learn and develop through their engagement in formal higher education. Adults bring experiences and wisdom into the classroom, and receive a learning experience that informs their own professional and personal practices. This is the 102nd issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Student Services.

Book excerpt: This study examined the perception of adult students pursuing different degree levels (bachelor, master, doctoral) to determine if there are differences in their needs for support services. A two-part, mixed methods design was used, consisting of an online survey and follow-up interviews with a small subset (13) of the survey respondents. A survey instrument was developed with 44 dependent variables covering services, as determined from the literature, that could be most important to adult students. The online survey was distributed to 2,029 adult students at a Midwestern, doctoral, research intensive university. Criteria for selection as part of the population required the student to be at least 30 years of age at the time of his/her latest admittance to a program, and be enrolled for classes at the study institution during the spring semester of 2007. The survey was available online for three weeks and resulted in a 30% response rate producing 611 usable responses. The results of the survey were used to develop interview protocols specific to each degree level. These results were analyzed and conclusions drawn, to develop five recommendations for improving the delivery of services to adult students based on their degree levels. These recommendations include: (a) creating a centralized office (probably virtual) focused on serving adult students and their needs that include email and a web site, (b) developing an informational brochure, (c) improving the accessibility and applicability of student services (especially parking), (d) providing more flexibility and focus in course offerings, and (e) reassessing the services for adult students every 2-3 years. It was discovered that needs of adult students do differ based on their degree levels, but the amount of difference is inversely proportionate to the necessity of the service in conducting the business of going to college. While these results cannot be generalized to any other institutions, they provide a framework for those institutions to use in conducting their own research. It is important to acknowledge that the needs of the new traditional student are different than those of the conventional student, and that adult students do experience needs that exhibit differences by degrees.
