- Abstract
With the increasing availability of higher education programs in an accelerated learning (AL) format, student retention in AL programs has emerged as a topic that needs to be better understood. This study investigated the applicability of Tinto's Institutional Action Model to AL students who are both full-time workers and parents. Empirical data were collected from surveys and analyzed statistically. Overall, most of the recommended initiatives from the Institutional Action Model are positively perceived by these students. Institutions that target working adult students can use the results of this research to fine-tune student retention initiatives in their AL programs.
