National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

This national survey project focuses on the quality of undergraduate learning and aims to develop national benchmarks of effective educational practice. NSSE was first administered at UMTC in spring, 2008. It is administered to a sample of freshmen and seniors and provides a longitudinal database for evaluating the effectiveness of undergraduate programs and other aspects of the undergraduate experience. UMTC participates in the survey and shares results [de-identified data] with fellow Association of American Universities (AAU) consortium participants for benchmarking. The survey is sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs. More information about this survey is available on the NSSE web site .
