correlation between non-traditional
student risk classifi cations and motivation.
He said that the number of
students demonstrating non-traditional
characteristics is growing in the U.S.
These characteristics include being
married, having dependents in the
household, fulltime employment, attending
school as a part-time student
and waiting a few years after high
school to enter college. He surveyed
students with these characteristics
at three universities throughout the
southern U.S., looking at motivational
tendencies.
In his study of 1,140 students
surveyed, DeMerritt found that
motivational tendencies (reasons for
pursuing a degree) do not predict risk
classifi cations among non-traditional
students. In other words, there is no
relationship between motivation and
non-traditional characteristics.

“For a high-risk student having four
or more non-traditional student characteristics,
there was no indication of
what type of motivation that person
had based on those risk factors,”
DeMerritt said.
For DeMerritt, however, the motivation
to earn his degree was personal.
And after more than fi ve years
of working toward that goal he is now
happy to have it behind him.
“Five years is rough. Six to eight
years is the typical timeline,” DeMerritt
said. “Going to work fulltime,
being actively involved in all those
other things you have going on with
your family, I’m not sure how I did it.
There are a lot of lost weekends and
lost ballgames. I lost three Christmases
when I got to my dissertation. But
was it worth it? Yeah!”
