A Student Goals Inventory (SGI) for use in the community college was developed by a committee of Florida community college personnel. Six general goal categories were identified: career development, personal development, social development, academic development, cultural development, and community development. From six to seventeen goals are subsumed under each category, with goals in one category not necessarily exclusive of those in another category. The purpose of the SGI is not to provide conclusive data regarding student goals, but rather to provide information so that trends might be identified. Information derived from the SGI may be utilized in a number of ways for a variety of purposes. Examples of such use are presented in the areas of counseling, program development and evaluation, and accountability. Tabulated data resulting from a pilot-testing of the SGI on 848 students in six Florida community colleges and tabulated data resulting from an administration to 302 students of a shorter version of the SGI which includes biographical questions are appended. The SGI is designed to be flexible in order that it might be adapted by institutions for their specific purposes. (JDS)
