This brief examines enrollment patterns, demographics, education patterns, and financial aid use for Minnesota undergraduate students who are adult learners. The analysis also explores the changes in those patterns and characteristics as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For purposes of this brief, the differing characteristics of two important groups are discussed: those individuals enrolling for the first time as adults (first-time adult learners), and those individuals who are returning to postsecondary education after stopping out as a traditional-aged student (stop-out adult learners). Roughly 10 percent of Minnesota undergraduate students are adult learners. This important student population is both critical to meeting Minnesota's educational attainment goal and is unique in terms of demographics and postsecondary needs.
