| Abstract | Military spouses' access to education is greatly impacted by the demands of their unique and often complex lifestyles. If postsecondary education leaders had a greater understanding of this population and their needs, challenges, and successes, they could cultivate an environment of learning rooted in student success, accessibility, and equity. Doing so would limit the challenges of accessing education and shape the culture of learning within this population. This ethnographic qualitative study's theoretical framework comprised Boss's theory of ambiguous loss and Baxter Magdola's learning principle model of self-authorship. Significant literature on the psychological interventions of student belonging indicated the need for this research. The participating active-duty military spouses discussed their success in accessing higher education, enabling a better understanding of this student population within the postsecondary education system. The findings indicated three major themes: barriers, desires, and supporting roles. Active-duty Army military spouses have barriers when accessing higher education and continuing lifelong learning, while dually retraining for employment opportunities that meet their unique and complex lifestyles (e.g., frequent Permanent Change of Duty Station moves and a lack of support services and groups). The second major theme included ideas about enhancing active-duty Army military spouses' educational journey regarding access to higher education and student learning outcomes. There is a need for a sense of belonging on campus among the military spouse student population, flexibility in course offerings, and Hy-Flex attendance policies to access courses remotely. The study's findings suggest the need for the student service support staff on post to provide an Army education liaison well-versed in active military scholarships, transfer credits, and program offerings from area colleges. The third theme was the military spouse's role as a helper to their military member's career. At one point, all participants actively engaged in developing their respective family readiness groups, taking time away from their professional goals to help build their spouses' careers. Although outside of the study's scope, this finding shows community perceptions useful to understand this growing student population in higher education.
