Undergraduate Single Mothers' Experiences in Postsecondary Education
Beeler, Sydney
New Directions for Higher Education, n176 p69-80 Win 2016
Using Astin's (1993) College Impact Model, this chapter explores the current literature as it relates to single mothers in undergraduate postsecondary education. The chapter looks at the ways that undergraduates who are single mothers are counter to the "ideal-student" norms. Policy and best-practice recommendations conclude the chapter.
