The NSSE is a
national survey designed to assess the extent to which first-year and senior
students engage in a variety of educationally effective activities, their
perception of institutional priorities, and the extent to which they believe
their learning and skills have been effected by the institution they
attend.
The foundational
premise is that students who are actively involved in both academic and
out-of-class activities gain more from the college experience than those who are
not as involved AND that level of involvement is a meaningful measure of
institutional quality.
