Overview
Founded in the fall of 2000, the Comprehensive Assessment Project (CAP) is the CCCU's national research consortium. The CAP program orients CCCU members around a common set of campus assessments that are administered on a regular cycle. CAP's common assessments provide sector norms for institutional benchmarking, while its cyclical nature empowers participating schools to examine their institutional effectiveness over time through longitudinal data analysis.

s
Year 1: Student Characteristics (CIRP Freshman Survey & College Senior Survey)
