"The traditional portrait of the average college student as an 18 to 22 year-old attending classes on their college campus is fast being replaced by a radically different student population. When it comes to defining the new normal in student demographics, the collective term is ‘nontraditional student,’ describing learners who might be juggling higher education with a full or part-time job, or those looking to retrain between careers, pick up their education after active service in the military, or those with responsibilities of managing children or other dependents."
