Student Engagement Surveys

In order to engage individual colleges and university departments in meaningful conversations about student academic engagement, University Assessment Services administers three engagement surveys. More information about the engagement surveys can be found by clicking on the survey links. The surveys are the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE), and the Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE).
