| Abstract | Discussions at the local, state, and national level have been focused on the importance of providing access and opportunity for college attendance. While these discussions are important to raising public interest in higher education attainment, they often negate how community values influence the college attendance decision process. This study sought to examine the beliefs and values of citizens in a rural mid-South county in order to understand how those beliefs and values might affect the decision to attend college. Data were collected from community members in a rural county with assistance from the chamber of commerce. A total of N = 220 citizens completed the instrument, which measured their beliefs and values associated with having a high regard for educational attainment. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was utilized to analyze the responses to the items contained in the instrument. Six factors emerged through the analysis of data, including value for education and quality of life, community identity and loyalty, social consciousness, value for religion and health, entertainment and leisure activities, and information access.
