Surveys
Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) and Your First College Year (YFCY) Surveys
Officials at the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) have developed several
national benchmark assessments which are used at colleges and universities throughout
the United States. UCM participates in two of those surveys-- CIRP, which is commonly
known as The Freshman Survey (or TFS) and Your First College Year (YFCY). UCM participates
in these assessments every other fall, on odd years.
HERI provides a PDF version of the CIRP survey instrument as well as the YFCY survey instrument. Additional information about CIRP and YFCY may be obtained by visiting the HERI website.
UCM Results
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) Survey
Officials at the Center for Post-secondary Research at Indiana University developed a widely-known national benchmark assessment called NSSE. Colleges and
universities use this assessment tool to determine how students are engaging inside
and outside the classroom. Students are asked about hours spent doing a variety of
activities, plans to take part in certain courses, projects and activities, etc. UCM
participates in this assessment during every other spring, on even years.
