The Office of Institutional Research conducts a number of
surveys that together constitute a rich source of
information for assessing the student experience at Pomona
College. The
current program of institutional research
includes the following surveys:
CIRP Freshman Survey
The CIRP
Freshman Survey is part of the Cooperative Institutional Research
Program, the oldest and largest national study of higher
education. Hundreds of institutions across the country
participate in this survey every year, providing
longitudinal, comparative data on trends and characteristics
of entering freshmen. Summary data compare Pomona
freshmen to freshmen at close peer colleges, at all highly
selective four-year colleges (non-sectarian), and all
non-sectarian four-year colleges nationally (all selectivity
levels).
CIRP 2006 Summary
Enrolled Students Survey
Designed for a consortium of selective colleges and
universities nation-wide, the Enrolled Students Survey (ESS)
is a tool for evaluating student engagement and
understanding how students use their time. This survey was
last administered in Spring 2007, with plans to continue
administering the survey every four years.
