National Survey of Student Engagement
At ATU, first-year and senior students are invited biennially to complete the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), a survey that collects information about student participation in activities designed to enhance students' learning and personal growth.
The survey examines student involvement in six High-Impact Practices (HIPs) associated with learning, retention, and positive life-long impact:
- service-learning
- learning communities
- research with faculty
- internships or field experiences
- study abroad
- culminating senior experiences
Additionally, the NSSE examines four Student Engagement Indicators:
- academic challenge
- learning with peers
- experiences with faculty
- campus environment
ATU has participated in the NSSE biennially since 2017. The Multi-year Report summarizes Student Engagement results and High-Impact Practices and provides detailed statistics. The "Pocket Guide to Choosing a College: NSSE 2021 Answers from Students" provides prospective students with insights into how they might learn and develop at ATU. The graph images above are from that report.
