National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

Saint Mary's College administers the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) on a three-year cycle. The NSSE assesses the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development.

Hundreds of institutions regularly participate in the NSSE, allowing Saint Mary's College to compare survey results with those of peer institutions. 

The most recent iteration of the NSSE at Saint Mary's took place in spring 2022. For an executive summary of results, click here. Additional reports (provided by NSSE) can be found by following the links below.
