Introduction to the special section--breaking with tradition: effective counseling services for nontraditional students

Keywords

nontraditional students, counseling services

Abstract

This collection of articles represents the first time that the Journal of College Counseling (JCC) has published articles based on a topical theme. Nontraditional Students was selected for a special section theme because most college counseling research continues to describe student populations in generic terms, perpetuating the stereotype that student body composition is homogeneous. However, nontraditional students currently compose at least 40% and as much as 70% of all undergraduate students nationwide, depending on how the term nontraditional is defined.
