Non-traditional students are attending post secondary institutions in the United States in record numbers. The college choice decision process of these students has attracted little research when compared to the existing research base for traditional-age students. During the 2000 academic year, nontraditional students at nine private colleges and universities were studied to determine aspects of the college selection process that These students considered important. Students also revealed their level of concern over financing educational costs along with their primary sources of funding. The students, all of whom were employed full-time and attending college classes during the evening, also provided self-reported data on their personal and professional objectives for continuing post-secondary education. Students considered the academic reputation of an institution and the convenience factors associated with their program of choice as important factors in their enrollment decision.

The purpose of this case study was to understand the college choice process of students enrolled in an early college high school program. The program studied enrolled first-generation students beginning in 9th grade in courses that counted towards both high school and college credits. The goal of the program was to have students graduate from high school with an associate degree. I conducted individual interviews with 9 seniors enrolled in the program to better understand how they chose what they wanted to do after high school, as well as to understand in what ways participation in the program and attending college courses influenced their decisions. Additionally, I explored the ways that students saw their identity influencing their choices for ongoing education. After I completed and transcribed the interviews, I engaged with the data by reading it repeatedly to explore patterns and themes within student responses. I coded those themes and then also utilized documents that I analyzed to support or challenge what I had heard. I then took those codes and made connections to the research questions I asked to describe the findings of this study. The findings of this study indicate the important role that personal relationships play in the college choice process, with participants sharing how relationships with faculty, staff, and peers influenced their success in the program as well as their belief in their ability to succeed in continued educational endeavors. Additionally, students shared the importance of taking college course on a college campus for their understanding of how college works, and for increasing their confidence in their ability to succeed in college. Placing this program on a college campus also enabled students to participate in extracurricular activities and utilize resources on campus. These findings indicate the important ways that communities and higher education institutions can work together to increase access to higher education for students who have traditionally been underrepresented in higher education. In addition, these findings indicate important factors to consider when designing these educational opportunities.

The college-choice process is complex and affects many high school students, family members and public policy-makers, as well as institutions of higher education. This report provides an overview of the college-choice process for traditional-age students and examines how it has evolved during the last half of the 20th century. Material from the College Board and the National Association of College Admissions Counselors and popular literature were all data sources for this review. This report analyzes how student and family characteristics, institutional admissions policies and practices, and public policies have influenced the manner and timing of students' college-choice decisions. Specifically, the report examines the following three topics: (1) Shifts in public policy regarding postsecondary access, equity and financial aid; (2) Changes in recruitment, marketing, admissions practices and financial aid; and (3) Other institutional practices that have shaped the college-choice process.

Research indicates that college choice is a complex process with various factors influencing a student's decision to enroll (Hossler & Gallagher, 1987; Jackson, 1982; Kallio, 1995; Leslie and Brinkman, 1987; Litten, 1982; Montgomery & Powell, 2006; Pock & Love, 2001; Stolzenbergs, 1994). There is currently widespread research on undergraduate college choice; however, few studies have examined the college choice process of graduate students. This gap challenges graduate business schools, which have enlarged their degree offerings over the past two decades despite stagnant application volumes (Graduate Management Admissions Council, 2014). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between predictors of enrollment and the college choice process of prospective MBA students. A causal comparative study was used to examine data of students admitted ( N=875) into a MBA program at a small university in New England over a seven-year time period. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between a scholarship award and a student's enrollment decision (r =.165, r2 = .027, p

College accessibility is a common topic amongst higher education professionals in today society. One specific example of an underserved population of students that can greatly benefit from the concept of college access is first generation college students. Previous research shows that first generation college students are often at a disadvantage compared to their peers in regards to college enrollment. In order for high schools teachers and guidance counselors as well as higher education administrators and admissions personnel to fully assist these students with their college enrollment, we must be knowledgeable about the factors that influence their college choice process. This qualitative research study investigated the college choice process for first generation college students at a small, private, religious affiliated institution. Using Hossler and Gallagher (1987) Model of College Choice, this study examined the three-stage college choice process including predisposition, search, and choice. Interviews were conducted with 31 first generation college students in the freshman class at Shorter University. Each participant was asked a series of 11 questions that coincide with the three stages of the college choice process. The data collected throughout the interviews was analyzed and coded to develop a thematic structure of the findings. The study resulted in three overarching conclusions. First, the aspiration to attend college was the first theme that was apparent during the predisposition stage of the college choice process. The majority of students revealed that they aspired to attend college at an early age in their life. Second, the theme of support from others was prominent in the research. Many of the participants revealed their appreciation for their parents, family members, teachers, and other adult figures that assisted them with their college enrollment. Finally, the obstacles that these first generation college students had to overcome was a prevalent theme in the data. These students handled many challenges throughout the college choice process from their socioeconomic status to their parents lack of knowledge about higher education. Though faced with adversity, the first generation college students in the freshman class at Shorter University utilized available resources to successfully enroll in post-secondary education.

This dissertation explores the role of parents in freshman, first generation scholarship recipients' access to higher education. Three overarching goals guide the research: To gain knowledge and a better understanding of the college choice process of freshman, first generation scholarship recipients; to better understand the role of parents in the college choice process of these students; to utilize that knowledge to inform the practice of college and university admissions offices in improving access to higher education for other first generation college students. This dissertation does this by addressing three research questions: What perceptions do first year, first generation scholarship recipients at The University of Alabama have about the role their parents played in their decision-making process to pursue post-secondary attendance; What perceptions do first year, first generation scholarship recipients at The University of Alabama have about the role their parents played in their decision-making on what institutions to consider attending; What perceptions do first year, first generation scholarship recipients at The University of Alabama have about the role their parents played in their ultimate decision to matriculate at a post-secondary institution. Grounded in the work of Hossler and Gallagher (1987), the study evaluates the college choice process utilizing the three distinct phases of the Hossler and Gallagher (1987) Three-Phase Model of College Choice.
