About the CIRP Freshman Survey
A national survey administered by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI), the CIRP
Freshman Survey is a long-standing annual survey in which hundreds
of institutions across the country participate.
Miami has participated since 1970. Some of the questions
have changed over the years, but in general the survey
provides both a good snapshot of incoming freshmen
views (about politics, social issues, their high school
preparation, their goals for college and life, etc.)
and the ability to look at trends over time.
Population: Incoming first-year students
Topics: A variety of subjects ranging from students' political views to their study habits in high school
Related Surveys: The CIRP is a national survey designed to be paired with the YFCY and CSS
Years available: Annually from 1971 - 2010
Questionnaire: Available at http://gseis.ucla.edu/heri/researchersToolsCodebooks.php
