Abstract:
Investments in student support services that encompass single mother needs can influence postsecondary degree attainment and increase earning potential that can lead to benefits, including economic self-sufficiency and poverty alleviation (Alssid et al., 2002; Gault, Milli, & Cruse, 2018; Gault, Noll, & Reichilin, 2017; Graham & Bassett, 2011; Kruvelis, Cruse, & Gault, 2017). Despite the benefits of single mothers' college degree attainment, they are least likely to earn them (Gault et al., 2018). In the United States, 8% of single mother undergraduates earn a postsecondary degree within six years of enrollment compared to the 49% of women who are not mothers (Gault et al., 2018). This phenomenological qualitative study explores the use of a two-generation approach in community college education for single mothers as a pathway to a degree or certificate attainment. The researcher explores four research objectives: (a) demographics of single mother students, (b) barriers, (c) enablers, and (d) the two-generation approach. Human capital theory (Becker, 1964), social capital theory (Bourdieu, 1986), and self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1977) serve as the foundation for this study. The researcher used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to evaluate and interpret single mother students' lived experiences as participants of a two-generation program. The findings suggest two-generation approaches using a combination of resources assist single mother students in obtaining postsecondary degrees or certificates. Recommendations offer community colleges and policymakers ideas to aid in single mother students’ degree or certificate persistence.
