NSSE Survey

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is a national survey that is currently administered every other spring to a percentage of first-year and senior students; the selection of students is random. NSSE measures the extent to which students engage in or are exposed to academic practices and behaviors that are related to desirable educational outcomes.
