2016 National Freshman Motivation to Complete College Report. Eleventh Annual Study of Freshman Attitudes
Ruffalo Noel Levitz
As they start college, the vast majority of incoming freshmen exude a strong desire to complete a degree, but many also express early concerns and attitudes that reduce their motivation and put them at risk for attrition. This report looks beyond standardized test scores and high school transcripts to explore a wide range of these noncognitive, motivational attributes that influence completion. The study is based on a national sample of nearly 100,000 freshmen who filled out a 100-item, college completion risk survey in 2015 at 308 colleges and universities across the United States. [For "2015 National Freshman Attitudes Report for Four-Year and Two-Year Institutions. Tenth Annual National Research Study," see ED602823.]
