" Each year the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) collects information from undergraduates at four-year colleges and universities across the country to assess the extent to which students engage in a variety of good educational practices. The NSSE project is grounded in the proposition that the frequency with which students engage in activities that represent effective educational practice is a good proxy for collegiate quality. NSSE is supported by a grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts and is cosponsored by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and The Pew Forum for Undergraduate Learning."

Plymouth State University participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement.

Results of the Survey will be reviewed annually by the Assessment Advisory Group (AAG).  Based on the findings, the AAG will share the results and make recommendations to the appropriate governing body.
