National Survey of Student Engagement

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is designed to obtain, on an annual basis, information from scores of colleges and universities nationwide about student participation in programs and activities that institutions provide for their learning and personal development. The results will provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college. Survey items on The College Student Report represent empirically confirmed "good practices" in undergraduate education. That is, they reflect behaviors by students and institutions that are associated with desired outcomes of college.  

For a more information about the administration of the NSSE and additional analyses, see the Office of Curriculum, Accreditation, and Assessment website.

Northern Kentucky University administered the NSSE a sample of freshmeen and seniors in 2005. Results for the programs under review are provided below:
