There have been many changes in American society over the past decade which have greatly influenced traditional education in this country. Brown has identified the women’s liberation movement, unemployment, equal rights, equal opportunities for the handicapped, a decrease in the birth rate, and students' rights as the significant influences on traditional education. These factors have
influenced individuals to cross barriers into nontraditional occupational fields and institutions of higher learning to recruit and enroll nontraditional students. Statistics show 500,000 women over the age of thirty-five were enrolled in college courses in 1970. Statistics for 1976 show 55 million men and women over the age of twenty-five come from nontraditional sources: the minorities, the
older students, and students who are considered academic risks., Copyright is retained by the author. Please contact Sharon Shipton for further use of this material.
