National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
The NSSE is an inquiry into the extent to which students at four-year colleges and universities
engage in an array of good educational practices. Many of the questionnaire items
deal with student behaviors that educational researchers have found to be highly correlated
with the intense learning and personal development that are hallmarks of a meaningful
college education.
CSUSM has participated in the NSSE survey since 2001, and the survey is now administered
biennially to freshmen and graduating seniors. To view a summary of recent findings,
