ATU National Survey of Student Engagement

NSSE Student Engagement

At ¶¶ÒõÊÓÆµ, first-year and senior students are invited biennially to complete the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), a survey that collects information about student participation in activities designed to enhance students' learning and personal growth.

The survey examines student involvement in six High-Impact Practices (HIPs) associated with learning, retention, and positive life-long impact:

  • Service-learning
  • Learning communities
  • Research with faculty
  • Internships or field experiences
  • Study abroad
  • Culminating senior experiences

Additionally, the NSSE examines four Student Engagement Indicators:

  • Academic challenge
  • Learning with peers
  • Experiences with faculty
  • Campus environment
