International Journal of Lifelong Education, v21 n4 p305-20 Jul-Aug 2002
The proportion of adult undergraduates to adult populations in the 50 states was calculated. Cross-sectoral analysis identified state characteristics that correlated with participation rates. Best predictors were availability of undergraduate education, educational technology efforts, the population's level of educational attainment, budget priority of higher education, and the state's occupational structure.
