The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of online, adult learners who navigated transitions and overcame challenges to succeed in earning a baccalaureate online via a community college starting point. Through studying these students who were actually successful, by examining their pathways, and by finding out how they succeeded, information was gained that can help higher education professionals better understand, engage, educate, and support community college entrants who seek to complete a four-year degree. A phenomenological approach was implemented.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of online, adult learners who navigated transitions and overcame challenges to succeed in earning a baccalaureate online via a community college starting point. Through studying these students who were actually successful, by examining their pathways, and by finding out how they succeeded, information was gained that can help higher education professionals better understand, engage, educate, and support community college entrants who seek to complete a four-year degree. A phenomenological approach was implemented.
520 $a The study site for this research was a large, urban, private university in the northeastern United States. Specifically, the study site was one of the colleges within that university which enrolls a high number of online, adult baccalaureate-seekers who began their studies at the community college level. The research participants were adult learners who completed their baccalaureate online and who began their studies at the community college level as campus-based students. Participants were students who reached their four-year degree goal in 2016. Specifically, five undergraduate degree completers from an April 2016 degree conferral were chosen.
520 $a A number of common findings emerged from the research. Specifically, inner drive or self-motivation, influence of family and friends as motivators, overall institutional support, a specific person or event, and success paving the way for more success were found to be important to student success and persistence. Discussion of the findings and implications for institutions as well as future researchers, were discussed.
