In the past 20 years, there has been a significant increase in the number of older returning students in the undergraduate population. From 1974 to 1980, the total representation of students at least 25 years old increased from one-fourth to onethird of the undergraduate enrollment (Kasworm, 1980). In this article, these students are referred to as nontraditional students.

Constant Comparative

This qualitative study examines the experiences of former nontraditional-age students with depression and reasons that led them to leave college prematurely. Constant comparative methods were used to illuminate themes within and across participants' stories. The findings showcase eight complex interlocking factors that these former students grapple with in pursuit of a college education. Implications to improve the retention of nontraditional college students with depression are discussed.
