Balance : a magazine for non-traditional college students : an honors creative project [(HONRS 499)]

Abstract

This magazine idea was created for non-traditional students across the country. As a non-traditional student, some of the challenges that I have faced throughout my college career are different than those of my traditional friends. The articles not only address these issues, but they offer suggestions and experiences of other students.As far as the market and the need for such a magazine, in 1993, there were more than 6.3 million adults over the age of 25 who were attending college. That number does not include students who are under the age of 25 and be a parent or married. There are no other magazines of this nature on the market to meet their needs and the number of non-traditional students is growing annually.
