Key Findings

Page 45: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Copyright: Aslanian Market Research 2017 45

Post-traditional Students Are The New Majority In American Higher Education Undergraduate Study

These students include those 25 years of age and older who begin or return to undergraduate education and those under 25 years of age who begin or return to undergraduate education, but are not enrolled fulltime during the day and do not reside on or near campus.

Age No Longer Predicts Learning Patterns

Given increasing and multiple life transitions and trigger events in the lives of many Americans, retooling and reeducation have become a necessity throughout one’s lifetime.

Page 47: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Career Transitions And Career-Related Events In Life Drive Americans Of All Ages Back To School

Post-traditional students, in particular, seek further education to enter, advance and change their careers or jobs. Relevant credentials and certifications lead these students to the career pathways they seek.

The Majority of Post-Traditional Students Prefer Some Form Of Online Instruction

To cope with the multiple life roles and to expedite their education as much as possible, post-traditionals – most of whom are quite familiar with online delivery and ……… understand that online instruction provides the flexibility and convenience their busy lives require.

Page 49: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Post-traditional Students are Cost-Sensitive

Tuition is the No. 1 factor driving post-traditional students’ school selection, their reason for not pursuing college after high school and their reason for dropping out. Most believe that there is not enough financial aid available today and that the first two years of college should be free.

Page 50: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

The Acceptance of Prior Academic Credits Is Critical

Seventy percent of post-traditional undergraduate students are reentering college with credits in hand. In many instances they are searching for colleges that will accept these prior credits in order to save time and money. On average, they bring with them 30 or so credits for transfer.

Page 51: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Post-Traditional Students Make Decisions Quickly

While many students increasingly make their decisions to attend a school extremely quickly, 40 percent of post-traditional college students choose a school to apply to within four weeks or less and nearly 75 percent take three months or less between day of first inquiry and first day in class.

Page 52: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Post-Traditional Students Prefer a Nearby Campus

Regardless of their program or course format preferences, nearly 70 percent would like to enroll at a college within 30 miles of there they live.

Page 53: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Business, IT, and Health and Medicine are Popular Fields of Study

Business and IT continue to be the most popular major at the Bachelor’s degree level, but health and medicine is more popular at the Associate and Certificate and Diploma levels.

Page 54: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Copyright: Aslanian Market Research 2017 54

Most Post-Traditional Students Study Full Time

Accelerated courses and programs offered year long, along with diverse formats (online, hybrid, etc.) enable these students to take on full-time loads while also addressing other life roles.

Page 55: Post-Traditional College Students PowerPoint

Copyright: Aslanian Market Research 2017 55

Eight-Week Courses (or less) are Here to Stay

Clearly, colleges that seek to recruit the post-traditional student must pay attention to the length of their courses. Two-thirds prefer 10 weeks or less for their course length but definitely, the eight-week pattern is the median preference – all times of the day.

The Post-Traditional Student Demographic

While white/Caucasian is the largest ethnic group; Hispanics are under-presented relative to the population and Asian/Pacific islanders are over represented. Household income distribution is similar to that of the US population. Most important, the post-traditional student is typically female and is younger than older – more than half are under 29.
