Abstract

Higher education has experienced a shift in the demographics of undergraduate students as the enrollment numbers of adult learners continue to increase. The college access and choice processes for these students are different than those of traditionally-aged undergraduate students. Moreover, adult learners may face certain barriers to higher education, primarily associated with their multiple responsibilities and competing priorities. Researchers have developed models that explore college access and choice with limited research on the processes for adult learners. Higher education leaders must adapt their practices to intentionally focus on increasing access for adult learners. The literature review will provide several models for better understanding the college access and choice processes for adult learners.
