Pregnant and Parenting Students on Campus: Policy and Program Implications for a Growing Population
Brown, Virginia; Nichols, Tracy R.
Educational Policy, v27 n3 p499-530 May 2013
The number of pregnant and parenting students in higher education is increasing. Research suggests this population experiences added pressure and stress while pursuing their education. Few resources exist for these students and the universities who provide services do not adequately promulgate them to the campus community. The research presented examines the policies and programmatic needs of pregnant and parenting students at a mid-Atlantic state university. Participants identified both tangible and intangible resources in which new or better policies and programs were needed to assist them in completing their degree. Study implications are discussed and recommendations for policy are presented. (Contains 1 table.)
