National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

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 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.
 

The College Student Experiences Questionnaire Research Program (CSEQ)

The College Student Experiences Questionnaire (CSEQ) assesses the quality of effort college students expend in using the resources and opportunities provided by the institution for their learning and development.
