DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For decades, students with full-time jobs, families at home or several years between credit hours were considered outliers, or "non-traditional students." Today, however, they constitute nearly 75 percent of America's undergraduate student body, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This "New Majority" consists of working adults who are managing the demands of school, work and family life, and are looking at higher education with a different set of expectations and priorities.
