Survey Research

We support institutional assessment through a variety of data-gathering avenues, including survey research. In addition to regular administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), the Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE), and the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE), the assessment team works collaboratively with other units to create, administer, and analyze data collected from targeted surveys such as:

Human resources: Employee satisfaction surveys
Alumni Affairs: Program, college, and university-level surveys of alumni
Information Services: User satisfaction/impact surveys
Student Affairs: Program opinion surveys
Library: User-satisfaction surveys
