Many older learners are choosing to return to school to meet varying learning needs; some are returning to satisfy a lifelong desire to earn a college degree. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the motivation and experiences of adults aged 65 years or older who earned a bachelor’s degree in retirement and their perceptions related to this educational experience. The findings of this study, although not generalizable, have recruitment and instructional implications for higher educators and suggest pathways to better support this special population of college students.
