Primary Research Group, February 2009, Pages: 41

The Survey of American College Students is a representative probability sample of more than 400 American college students. The series of reports from the Survey of American College Students includes traditional market research reports for industry as well as college student satisfaction and use studies designed to give librarians and college administrators information on how students are using college resources nation-wide. Data is presented for all college students and broken out by sixteen criteria including college size, college type, mean college SAT acceptance score, gender, grade levels, academic grades, region of the country, type of locale of origin, academic major or focus, and other variables. The Survey of American College Students, Higher Education Services Reports, focuses on how college students use and how satisfied they are with campus services such as tutoring services, college police and security, athletic facilities, financial aid and many other college services.

The Survey of American College Students: Use of and Satisfaction with College Tutoring Services. This report presents 85 tables of data exploring how full time college students in the United States view and use their college's tutoring programs. The data in the report is based on a representative sample of more than 400 full time college students in the United States. Data is broken out by 16 criteria including gender, grade point average, major field of study, income level of students and type, size and mean SAT acceptance score of colleges attended, among other variables.

The report is designed to give tutoring program directors, college administrators, educational researchers and others benchmarks on the use of college tutoring service against which to compare their own programs or data. Just a few of the report's many findings are that:

- More than 97% of the students in the sample go to a college that offers tutoring services of some kind.

- 29.35% of the students in the sample have ever used their college's tutoring services.

- Half of students with a full time job have used the college tutoring services while less than 27% of those that do not work at all have done so.

- Nearly 95% of the students who have been in tutoring found the experience helpful to some degree.

- Close to 15% of all students said that they were highly unlikely to use the college's tutoring services in the future, while about 20.8% said that it would be unlikely.

- Students in the hard sciences and business were the most likely to consider using tutoring services in the future

- Students majoring in language arts such as English, communications, languages or journalism were the least likely to perceive their college's tutoring programs as excellent.
