National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

What is the NSSE?
The (pronounced “nessieâ€�) is a comprehensive, longitudinal survey, administered by the National Survey of Student Engagement team at Indiana University. This survey gathers information from first-years and seniors about college experiences, skills acquired during college, and students' academic and non-academic activities. For more information about NSSE at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½, please see below or contact survey@loyola.edu. Otherwise, learn more about the related Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE), which is administered to instructional faculty at the same time as when the NSSE is administered to students.
2024 ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ NSSE Campaign - Level up!
