The NSSE survey, launched in 2000 and updated in 2013, assesses the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. The questionnaire collects information across five categories: (1) participation in dozens of educationally purposeful activities, (2) institutional requirements and the challenging nature of coursework, (3) perceptions of the college environment, (4) estimates of educational and personal growth since starting college, and (5) background and demographic information.
The instrument is administered annually in the United States and Canada, as well as a variety of other countries across the globe. Links to the questions in English basic format (Items) and as they appear online to the student (Survey) are below.
