Surveys: National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

About the NSSE

A national survey conducted by the Center for Postsecondary Research at Indiana University, the NSSE assesses the extent to which undergraduates engage in a variety of educationally effective activities. Students respond to questions about how they spend their time and what skills they are developing as the result of college. A full version of the NSSE questionnaire can be found on NSSE's website.
