The National Survey of Student Engagement(NSSE)
http://nsse.iub.edu
The National Survey of Student Engagement(NSSE) is designed to obtain, on an
annual basis, information from scores of colleges and universities nationwide
about student participation in programs and activities that institutions
provide for their learning and personal development. The results will provide
an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from
attending college. Survey items on The National Survey of Student Engagement
represent empirically confirmed "good practices" in undergraduate education.
That is, they reflect behaviors by students and institutions that are
associated with desired outcomes of college.

Institutions will use their data to identify aspects of the undergraduate
experience inside and outside the classroom that can be improved through
changes in policies and practices more consistent with good practices in
undergraduate education. This information is also intended for use by
prospective college students, their parents, college counselors, academic
advisers, institutional research officers, and researchers in learning more
about how students spend their time at different colleges and universities and
what they gain from their experiences
The National Survey of Student Engagement(NSSE)

(U-CAN) provides information for prospective students and their parents to
compare private colleges and universities across a wide variety of
characteristics. Users can search for participating institutions and compare
important data and information, including admissions, cost, financial aid,
popular majors, and campus safety. Links to the institutions' websites provide
a "virtual campus tour."

U-CAN represents the first time that colleges and universities have
voluntarily joined and self-developed a system to provide data and information
for prospective students. Other systems are under development by the National
Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities, and the American Association
of Universities. These are expected to be released publicly in 2009,

U-CAN is also one of the only places where college information is available
free of charge to both students and institutions.

As of October 18, 2007, information on more than 500 colleges and universities
was available to the public.
