The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and its companion projects serve bachelor's degree-granting colleges and universities committed to assessing and improving the quality of the undergraduate experience. Created to offer a legitimate and actionable view of college quality, the survey focuses on activities and experiences that decades of prior research have established as important to student learning and development. While NSSE's major products include customized benchmarking reports and data files for participating institutions, the Annual Results series presents noteworthy aggregate findings for a nationwide audience. This year's report presents selected results from students at nearly 500 U.S. institutions and subsets of that group where supplemental questions were included. It also provides results from NSSE's companion survey, the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE). This year's "Annual Results" examines how colleges and universities are preparing students for work and careers. The analyses investigated the importance of educational context--with special attention to major--in shaping students' development of workplace-relevant skills such as working with others and solving real-world problems, as well as basic skills valued by employers such as critical thinking and effective writing and speaking. Researchers also asked a subset of respondents a set of targeted questions about their career goals and their use of career planning resources and related activities. Results from NSSE's Topical Module on First-Year Experiences and Senior Transitions were used to study seniors planning to take less-traveled paths after college.
