Results from the 2022 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) 2022 have arrived and are ready to share.
Why This is Important
NSSE surveys undergraduate students in their first and final years to assess their levels of engagement and related information about their experience at Missouri State.
Student responses measure:
- The amount of time and effort students put into their studies and other educationally purposeful activities
- How institutional resources, courses, and other learning opportunities facilitate student participation in activities that matter to student learning.
NSSE allows Missouri State to view itself in comparison to over 600 other institutions across the US and Canada.
