Information Summary: The University has participated in this survey for over 30 years. The survey covers a wide range of student characteristics: parental income and education, ethnicity, and other demographic items; financial aid; secondary school achievement and activities; educational and career plans; and values, attitudes, beliefs, and self-concept. Thus, it is very helpful for us to understand more completely the characteristics of entering freshman so as to develop new or modify existing programs and services accordingly (note: cited from HERI CSS web site.
