Many colleges and universities have made some or all of their NSSE survey results publicly available on their websites. NSSE encourages public reporting of student engagement results in ways that increase understanding of college quality and support institutional improvement efforts.
See NSSE's position on public reporting of student engagement information.
Exemplary Website Displays
While postings of NSSE reports like the Snapshot can be informational, the institution websites linked here are exemplary because they
- tailor their displays to different audiences in adapted, accessible formats; and
- integrate their NSSE results with other institutional data.
If you would like your website to be considered for inclusion among these institutional examples, please contact your Project Services Team.
NSSE Results on Display
On its website's "By the Numbers" pages, Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW) uses NSSE results to present CUW’s strengths—grouped by service, real world experiences, ethics and values, training for job skills, faculty availability, and collaborative learning. CUW results are compared to NSSE national-level data and data from CUW’s peer comparison group, Great Lakes Private Schools.

Three resources, linked below, are especially good tools for users seeking guidance on analyzing and interpreting their NSSE results. NSSE staff are also available for consultation.
