This report provides graphical information for selected demographic items (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, sex) for AUB and for a "National Normative Sample". For all Likert scale items (e.g., 5-point Satisfaction scale), data are displayed for AUB’s top and bottom five items as well as the five items with the greatest and least differences for AUB in comparison with national normative data. Please note percentages may not add to 100 due to the effect of rounding.

The “National Norms” used in this report are based on 44,333 student records from 56  postsecondary institutions that administered the ACT  Entering Student Survey between January 1, 2000 and December 31,2002. Normative data of this type are often referred to as “user norms,” because they simply represent a composite of the data obtained by a number of  institutions that administered the instrument during a particular period of time.
