Adult Student Drop-Out at Post-Secondary Institutions.

Cleveland-Innes, Martha

Review of Higher Education, v17 n4 p423-45 Sum 1994

A study of 233 nontraditional-age and 92 traditional-age university students investigated the utility of Vincent Tinto's model of student attrition for age-related sensitivity. Student variables considered include demographic, individual, educational, academic integration, social integration, and commitment factors. Results suggest the model fits data for nontraditional students better than for traditional students. (Author/MSE)
