This research replicated a previous mixed-methods exploratory study of spirituality and spiritual development (Yocum, 2014). 339 participants at two southeastern United States universities were administered a Likert-scale survey to collect data to explore the correlations between the existing components of the proposed spiritual development framework. Qualitative confirmation was obtained via 20 interviews from 10 participants at each university. Recurrent themes from interviews were identified that allow for a greater comprehension of spirituality and its role in educational success. The research evinces significant correlations between the spiritual development framework components. Phenomenological perspectives about the intersection of spiritual needs and education are presented that will be helpful in informing educators about connecting with students on a spiritual level in ways that may enhance educational successes.
