NSSE Annual Report 2007

NSSE, the National Survey of Student Engagement, has released its annual report for 2007. The report, a summary, and more information is available on the NSSE website. NSSE, established in 1999, gathers information from colleges and universities nationwide about student participation in programs and activities provided for their learning and development. NSSE hopes to provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college. It was developed in part to provide more meaningful measures than those used by US News to rank colleges. Though it addresses undergraduate education directly, it is also very pertinent to education at the graduate level.
