Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether motives for returning to college among undergraduate reentry women could be grouped into patterns and whether these reentry women could be grouped by motive-types. In this replication of an earlier study by Maslin (1978), the 70-item Continuing Education Women Motives Questionnaire was administered to 100 undergraduate reentry women aged 25 and older enrolled in a degree or certificate program in higher education. Data were treated using a principal components factor analysis with Varimax rotation after Kaiser normalization, and typal analysis. Eight distinct motives and eight motive typologies resulted from the analyses.
