National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
The NSSE Survey has been administered to UMD first-year and senior students three times: 2005, 2007 and 2008. The survey is designed to assess the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. The links on this page are designed to acquaint the campus community with the survey. More thorough analysis of our data will be conducted and shared as it becomes available.
