Özet:
The number of single parents continues to rise. Colleges and universities meet the needs of a diverse student population, yet fail to adapt to support the single parent population. The problem is single parents face barriers that can affect their motivational factors and degree attainment after college enrollment. Situational and institutional barriers may interfere with the time it takes to complete a college degree. The purpose of this qualitative narrative inquiry study was to explore single parents' motivational factors associated with higher education toward college completion and retention. The research design consisted of qualitative data collection in the form of structured and conversational interviews with fifteen single parent college students. Five significant themes emerged: Back to School, Family Support, Goals, Motivation to Achieve Goals, and College Assistance Wish List. Future research based on these themes may be used bridge the gap between single parent college students and traditional college students when looking at motivation and college success. Recommendations from these themes may assist higher education administration with ideas on how to increase college retention and graduation rates for the single parent population.
