Title: | Descriptive Summary of 1995-96 Beginning Postsecondary Students: With Profiles of Students Entering 2- to 4- Year Institutions |
Description: | This essay examines the characteristics and first-year behaviors of beginning postsecondary students entering the three largest institutional sectors. In particular, it explores the various ways in which students entering 2- year and 4- year institutions in 1995-96 differed from one another. For example, compared with students entering 4- year institutions, public 2- year institution entrants were more likely to be older, have independent financial status, have plans to complete a lower level of postsecondary education, and have obtained lower scores on college admission tests. |
