National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

Administration Plan

  • The NSSE is administered online in the spring once each three years following the fall administration of the Beginning College Student Survey of Engagement (BCSSE). The next NSSE administration will take place in the spring of 2010.

Brief Description

  • The NSSE is based on a large body of literature in higher education that draws direct correlations between particular classroom activities and specific faculty and peer practices to successful undergraduate student outcomes.
