| 520 | |a Specific survey test items were developed to gain greater insight into the school and career motivation of incoming freshmen at Shippensburg State College. The survey was administered to 680 members of the class (73 percent). The percentages of student school major representation in the sample generally reflect those of the total class. The results indicate that almost half of the freshmen have a particular job in mind that motivates their college studies and are looking forward to full-time employment immediately after graduation. Over 80 percent want a freshmen or early sophomore year experience with specific courses in their major field of interest. Over one-third of the class believes the most realistic time to choose their major field of study is the first semester of their sophomore year. Over 75 percent want special advisement to help choose their major, in addition to the usual student advisement program for declared majors. Additional analyses of possible relationships between varied background characteristics and the principle questions of this study were provided by the computer program on: income level, father's occupation, drug use, sex, grade-point average, and geographical area.
