Abstract

The authors analyzed articles appearing in seven U.S. higher education journals from 1990 to 2003 to explore how adult undergraduates were portrayed. Based on the articles that were found, the authors developed a classification of discourse about adult students that provides an analytic foundation to guide future research.
