Thesis (Ph.D.)--Capella University, 2017.

The enrollment of student veterans in colleges and universities throughout the United States continues to increase, due primarily to the downsizing of America's military force and the decreased participation from United States troops in the ongoing conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan (Tritten, 2015). Many veterans join the military with the plan to use their veteran benefits following their separation from the military, specifically their Post 911 GI Education Bill. Student veterans report that the readjustment to civilian life as a veteran student to prepare for a new career is often difficult, as most veterans have not been in school for many years. A qualitative case study approach was used in this study to offer insight and knowledge into the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans returning to school while providing data to inform and assist educators, mental health professionals, and administrators as they implement policies and develop programs to assist this unique population behaviorally, mentally, emotionally, and socially. This study sought to answer the question, "What is the experience of Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans, who have returned to a college or university to prepare for a new career," as there is a gap in the current literature related to this specific population of veteran students. Purposeful sampling was used when selecting participants for this study. The 12 participants in this study included both male and female combat veterans who served in the Air Force, Army, Marines, and/or Navy and had been deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan. The findings from this study indicated that Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans returning to school to find a new career struggle in six major areas: uncertainty, identity, culture, academic success, support, and expectations. Study findings deduced that colleges and universities would benefit by identifying strategies that include understanding the unique needs of student veterans as they move into, through, and out of the college or university environment so that these students can ultimately succeed and begin new careers.
