Each year the Cooperative Institutional Research program of the American Council of Education publishes national normative data on characteristics of first-time, fulltime freshmen college students. This report compares the national 4-year college norms with the norms of Fort Hays Kansas State College and analyzes these norms statistically to identify areas which are significantly different. The responses of FHKSC freshmen differed significantly from the national norms on questions pertaining to: distance from home to college; highest degree planned; education of parents; and credit hours taken during the fall semester, in addition to some other questions.
