The study aimed at collecting information about the characteristics and perceived needs of adult undergraduates, especially those at Michigan State University in the fall term, 1966. A questionnaire was developed and an opportunity was given for open-ended responses from the students. The study was made of a portion of the total data collected. Of 520 responses to the questionnaire, 494 were analyzed, and an additional analysis was made of 225 open-ended responses. Findings showed that there were more males returning for undergraduate education; the females were older; more of the females were married, widowed, or divorced; the adults were usually satisfied with their lives and jobs; they tended to come from small population areas and non-college parental backgrounds; their spouses tended to have some college education, but more male spouses had done graduate work; they tended to come from middle class backgrounds. Some needs emphasized were: financial aid, curricular and academic improvement, special adult facilities, and improvement in housing, counseling, enrollment, and registration. (author/nl)
