Book description
College Students in the United States accounts for contemporary
and anticipated student demographics and enrollment patterns, a wide
variety of campus environments and a range of outcomes including
learning, development, and achievement. Throughout the book, the
differing experiences, needs, and outcome of students across the range
of “traditional” (18-24 years old, full-time students) and
non-traditional (for example, adult and returning learners, veterans,
recent immigrants) are highlighted. The book is organized, for use as
a stand-alone resource, around Alexander Astin's
Inputs-Environment-Outputs (I-E-O) framework.
