 Freshmen Census
 


All first-time full-time freshmen are asked to complete the "Freshmen Census" survey during their first week at American University. This national freshmen survey, affiliated with the Higher Education Research Institute(HERI) at UCLA, gathers information on many different aspects of previous experience as well as expectations for college. Because the survey is administered to thousands of freshmen across the country, it provides valuable comparative information as well.

American University is a charter member of the HERI Cooperative Institutional Research Project and has been participating in this survey since its inception, thirty seven years ago. Traditionally, the results of this survey receive attention in the national media.
