Student (& Faculty) Experience Reports

National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) at Indiana University

NSSE is a survey specially designed for students to provide information about their undergraduate experience. NSSE asks students' opinions on the quality of their education, how they interact with faculty and other students and how they spend their time. The survey has a broad scope. Hundreds of colleges and universities of all types and sizes participate every spring. The main reason UNR participates in NSSE is that the University wants to learn more about what our students think and do, so the we can continually improve our undergraduate program - 2008 NSSE Instrument (pdf).
