Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Southern California, 2005.
Almost half of the current college and university student body in the United States are non-traditional students. Of this group, 1 in 5 attends accelerated course programs. This dissertation addresses non-traditional student preference for a nine-week accelerated semester format and the extent to which this format affects situational, institutional, and dispositional barriers to adult learners earning course credit toward an undergraduate degree.

Almost half of the current college and university student body in the United States are non-traditional students. Of this group, 1 in 5 attends accelerated course programs. This dissertation addresses non-traditional student preference for a nine-week accelerated semester format and the extent to which this format affects situational, institutional, and dispositional barriers to adult learners earning course credit toward an undergraduate degree.

In the spring of 2005, 344 students from three higher education institutions in central California were asked to respond to a fifty item questionnaire designed to assess respondents concerns with situational, institutional, and dispositional barriers and if and/or how the nine-week format assisted in overcoming those barriers. They were also asked to rank their preferred course length and if the nine-week term format played a role in their returning and continuing in school. Of the 344 students, 298 completed the questionnaire yielding a response rate of 87%.

Survey data were analyzed using a variety of descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings were that the nine-week term played a role in alleviating five out of seven situational barriers, four of six institutional barriers, and six of eight dispositional barriers. Further, a factor analysis of the data revealed that the nine-week terms had a positive influence on reducing the inconveniences of being a non-traditional student, and also in helping to reduce problems associated with lack of time, and the cost of attending school.

Though there were some slight differences in degree of preference for the nine-week term format among groups, this overall group of students expressed a favorable attitude toward the accelerated nine-week format. One exception to the approval rates for the nine-week format was concern for the pace being too quick in some classes like math or science.

A few unanticipated responses to open ended questions in the study revealed that students feel the nine-week terms help them deal better with studying by reducing procrastination. They also indicated that the nine-week term format kept them motivated and that because of the quicker pace they did not burn out or become bored with school. These responses seem to indicate a topic of further study.

The non-traditional students used in this study were a convenience sample from local higher education institutions and thus may have limited generalizability. Further study to verify this study's results will be needed.

Colleges and universities interested in attracting and retaining non-traditional students should seek ways of minimizing barriers. This study suggests that the nine-week term format is one way an institution of higher learning might mitigate barriers confronting non-traditional students.
