• The Cooperative Institutional Research Program
  Survey, or CIRP, is a freshman survey instrument
  to help institutions assess trends in the
  characteristics, attitudes, beliefs, and future
  plans of entering freshmen.
• Incoming first-time, full-time students at EUP
  took the CIRP survey during summer orientation.
  There were 689 students that responded to the
  survey, a number that has decreased over the last
  two years.
