Beginning in 2008, MUW will be employing The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to assess student satisfaction. The NSSE Survey consists principally of items that are known to be related to student learning and college success.

The NSSE survey measures the student's own engagement in the learning endeavor, and the resources provided by the university to engage the student.  The NSSE survey is given to both freshmen and seniors and the results are provided with benchmark comparisons to other institutions. If you have questions, please contact MUW's Office of Institutional Research.

Additional information about the NSSE and the conceptual framework for survey may be found at the NSSE website or on MUW's Institutional Research website: http://www.muw.edu/muwir/nsse.htm.
