The Adult Male Undergraduate Student Experience: Real Men Do Return to School.
Widoff, Janet C.
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v47 n2 p15-24 Spr 1999
A survey of 395 returning adult male students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs found their primary motivations to be career related; 85% felt able to balance roles; some had child care issues and most felt they had social and family support networks. Major concerns involved scheduling difficulties, financial aid, and juggling family and school responsibilities. (JOW)
