1998 First Time Student Comparative Analysis

Abstract

The Office of Institutional Research is engaged in a major study that tracks all First-Time In Any College (FTIAC) students who entered OCC in the Fall of 1998. The study focuses on more than 4,350 students and incorporates data from the Student Information System as well as responses to an on-going series of surveys. The richness of the data is allowing us to conduct never before possible studies that will shed new light on the students we serve. The attached report examines FTIAC students in relation to when they graduated from high school (year of high school graduation), as well as the district that the student graduated from high school (within Oakland County or Outside of Oakland County). Analysis indicates that there are a number of similarities as well as differences between students when examining these variables. ·
