This study examined the effect of different types of college experiences such as work, course-related activities, and involvement in clubs and social organizations to determine if the traditional notions about “college involvement” pertained to adults students. We also compared the adults’ growth to that of traditional-age students and looked at the effect of the colleges’ educational ethos. Our study analyzed the responses of approximately 19,000 college students who completed the American College Testing’s College Outcomes Survey.
