About NSSE
In spring 2011 about 2.1 million students at more than 750 colleges and universities nationwide were invited to report their college experience in the National Survey of Student Engagement. At UW-L it was sent online to about 2,200 first-year students and about 1,800 seniors. About 50 percent of each group responded. Questions measure everything from the level of academic rigor to the supportive nature of the campus environment. Find more details about UW-L's performance on NSSE.
