Abstract	Changes in the academic and social self-concept and the civic and business orientations of students who attended different types of institutions were studied longitudinally. Data were obtained from a Cooperative Institutional Research Program survey of 4,621 freshmen entering college in 1971 and a followup of those students graduating in 1980. Based on multivariate analysis of covariance, including separate analyses for males and females, it was found that different types of institutions have a differential effect on the developmental patterns of college graduates, and males more than females were affected by the type of postsecondary institution. Analyses suggest that male graduates of major research universities exhibit less growth in terms of academic and social self-concept and community orientation than their peers at the four other types of postsecondary institutions, while female graduates of comprehensive colleges and universities and general liberal arts colleges exhibit less growth in business orientation than those attending other types of postsecondary institutions. Descriptions are included of the five types of postsecondary institutions: doctoral-granting universities, major research universities, comprehensive colleges/universities, selective liberal arts colleges, and general liberal arts colleges.
