Higher Education Research Institute

Founded in 1973, the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) is located within UCLA’s Graduate School of Education & Information Studies.Researchers at the HERI are interested in examining leadership development, institutional transformation, faculty performance, and educational equity. First-time visitors should check out the “HERI Surveys & Services� area first, as it contains information about some of their very well-known longitudinal surveys, such as the Freshmen Year Survey and the College Senior Survey. Most visitors with a general interest in higher education trends will want to look through the “Research & Publications� section, as it contains reports on spirituality in higher education, the gender gap in colleges, and the impact of single-gender high schools on students’ transition to college. Additionally, at the top of the HERI homepage, visitors can view a set of “quick links� designed for institutional researchers, higher education scholars, and members of the media.
