Abstract: This student interest survey was conducted in Spring 2003 by Glendale Community College North (GCCN), Arizona. The purpose of the survey was to determine student preference for courses, course times and frequencies, and for other college student services they might need and want. In addition, an attempt was made to uncover any enrollment obstacles students might encounter. The survey was administered to over 1,000 students. Findings indicate that over two-thirds of students want their classes to meet twice a week, while just over 20% want classes that meet once a week, and 10% want classes to meet three times a week. Respondents also preferred course sessions of either 15 or 8 weeks, rather than the shorter 2- and 5-week classes. Almost three-quarters of respondents attend GCCN because of its proximity to their homes, while less than four percent attend because of its proximity to their work. Almost 85% of GCCN students are employed, and approximately 50% of those employed work the near equivalent of a full-time job. 20.25% of respondents were interested in career counseling, 19.62% were interested in academic counseling, and 13.6% were interested in job referrals. Contains 12 tables, raw survey results, and research instrument. (NB)
