The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), conducted by the Center for Postsecondary Research at Indiana University, was administered during spring semester to campus-based random samples of first-year (freshmen) and graduating senior students at UW four-year institutions. National comparison data are drawn from a custom NSSE tabulation of all participating U.S. public four-year higher education institutions. Peer comparison data are based on participating public institutions with similar characteristics and exclude the UW university selected on the dashboard. The NSSE survey was updated in 2013, and many questions were reworded to improve clarity and relevance. Survey results beginning in 2013 may not be directly comparable to prior years.<br \/>\n<span class=\"doc-icon\"><a class=\"doc-type xlsx\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/accountability\/download\/additional-info\/UW-Undergraduate-Experience-Peers.xlsx\" target=\"_blank\">UW Undergraduate Experience Peers<span class=\"sr-only\"> xlsx<\/span><\/a><\/span>\r\n<\/p>\n<h6>Participation in high-impact practices<\/h6>\n<p>Rates of participation indicate the proportion of students responding \u201cdone or in progress\u201d to the following items (variables) from the NSSE: learning community (learncom), research with faculty (research), internship (intern), study abroad (abroad), and culminating senior experience (capstone).
