Abstract | Designed as a profile summary of personal, demographic, intellective, and motivational characteristics of community college students, this report describes the student population of New York City Community College (NYCCC). The data in this report are predicated on the Biographical Inventory of the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program which was administered to students applying for admission to NYCCC during fall 1975. Approximately 4,498 potential students completed and returned usable inventories. This study had two basic purposes: (1) description and analysis of the characteristics of entry-level students in a multi-campus urban community college, and (2) examination of that population in comparison with a nationwide sample of first-time students enrolled in 100 comprehensive two-year colleges, and in comparison with previous student populations entering NYCCC. A total of 42 student characteristics are described in this report with the data for each measured characteristic reported in an appendix. The socioeconomic backgrounds and career interests of students entering NYCCC clearly differentiate them from students entering four-year colleges and from those who do not attend college. Because NYCCC's student population is rapidly changing, research on the characteristics of its students should be a continuing effort. (JDS) |
