The First-Year Initiative (FYI) benchmarking survey, developed by the Policy Center on the First Year of College and Educational Benchmarking, Inc. (EBI), assesses the learning outcomes of first-year seminars – a core part of the first-year experience at over 70% of institutions of higher education in America. FYI provides information that institutions can use to manage improvement or confirm current practice.
