The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is a trusted and widely used instrument for assessing the quality of undergraduate education providing 4-year colleges and universities with diagnostic, actionable information for evidence-based improvement efforts. NSSE (pronounced Nessie) annually collects information at hundreds of institutions about student participation in programs and activities provided for their learning and personal development. The Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) complements NSSE and measures instructional staff expectations for student engagement in educational practices that are empirically linked with high levels of learning and development. The Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) collects data about entering students' prior academic and co-curricular experiences, as well as their expectations for engagement during the coming college year. All projects are housed within the Indiana University School of Education Center for Postsecondary Research.
