Profile of USC (University of South Carolina) Entering Freshmen, Fall, 1976. Research Notes Number 34-77.
Fidler, Paul P.; And Others
During the 1976 summer and fall orientation programs, a questionnaire was administered to 2,190 students (75 percent) of the entering freshman class. The survey was part of the American Council on Education's Cooperative Institutional Research Program. The survey report presents a comparative analysis of the various demographic data, opinions, and projections of the class. Comparisons are made with national norms by race and by sex when it is deemed significant. Eleven areas of interest are considered: age, race, average high school grades, highest degree anticipated (at any institution), reasons for college choice, parental income, probable major, religious preference, political orientation, expectations for the future, and fall-term residence. Data are presented in tables, with some notes. (MSE)
