Abstract
In a population of 581 accredited junior colleges, measures of 36 major attributes were intercorrelated. With unity in the diagonal, a principal components analysis was carried out, extracting 12 factors with an eigenvalue greater than 1. The 1st 6 of these factors were rotated to a final solution through the varimax procedure. The 6 rotated factors were titled: cultural affluence, technological specialization, size, age, transfer emphasis, and business orientation. The junior college factors are not congruent with factors for 4-yr colleges. (20 ref.)
