Research on Divorce Among Postsecondary Students: Surprisingly Missing
Christina Rosen Galvin
Idaho State University
The rigors of university life can be demanding, especially with non-traditional students juggling multiple responsibilities such as being a student, parent, and/or spouse, and working full-time. Such responsibilities can affect couple relationships and marriages. This article reviews the research literature on divorce among postsecondary students. Implications for practitioners and future research are also presented.
Key Words: divorce • nontraditional students • postsecondary students' relationships • divorce research
