This national study of extended orientation courses indicates that they are used as frequently at 2-year colleges as at 4-year colleges. However, substantial differences in the administrative structures and content emphases of these courses exist within institutional types. At 2-year colleges, these differences have the potential to limit the effectiveness of extended orientation courses. For instance, 2-year college courses have significantly larger class sizes, are shorter in duration, are less likely to be required, use less faculty training, are less varied in content, and are rarely used as an introduction to an academic discipline.
