In spring 1987, a random sample of 15% of the current enrollment at each college in the LACCD were surveyed in class. A total of 15,084 usable questionnaires were returned. Study findings included the following: (1) between 1982 and 1987, the percentages of students pursuing career or transfer goals declined slightly, while the percentage of those pursuing personal interest goals increased; (2) older students were more often interested in fine arts, social sciences, humanities, and family studies than younger students; (3) about 25% of the respondents had attended a private or public four-year institution prior to attending their present college; (4) the proportion of working students increased between 1980 and 1987, with smaller colleges reporting higher frequencies of students working full time than larger colleges; (5) districtwide, 63% of the students spoke English as their native language, while 18% were native Spanish speakers; (6) approximately 25% of the respondents reported a household income below $12,000 per year; (7) the admissions office and college library were the most frequently used noninstructional services; (8) the most common reason for choosing a particular college was proximity to home; and (9) the major enrollment influences were class schedules and friends. An appendix includes a description of the sampling and weighting methodology and the survey instrument. (AJL) |
