The number of new freshmen enrolled at the University
of North Dakota in the Fall Semester of 2000 totaled
1,837. While participating in “Getting Started” during
the summer of 2000, 65% of the students completed
the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP)
survey
(APPENDIX A).
CIRP is a national study of the American higher education
system sponsored by the American Council on Education
and administered by the Higher Education Research Institute
at the University of California, Los Angeles. The findings
of the study are given in APPENDIX B, with comparative
nationally formed data for public universities. Below
is a discussion of some of the 2000 findings comparing
UND 2000 freshmen with their national counterparts.
The
goal of this analysis is to provide insights into the
significant benefits that UND education offers to its students. |
