Enriching Educational Experiences (NSSE)
What are Enriching Educational Experiences?
Complementary learning opportunities in and out of class augment
academic programs. Diversity experiences teach students valuable things
about themselves and others. Technology facilitates collaboration between
peers and instructors. Internships, community service, and senior capstone
courses provide opportunities to integrate and apply knowledge.
How is the score determined?
The Enriching Educational Experiences benchmark score in NSSE comes
from a combination of different survey questions asked of first-year and
senior students at the College. Survey items for this benchmark include:
- Participating in co-curricular activities (organizations,
publications, student government, sports, etc.)
- Practicum, internship, field experience, co-op experience or clinical
assignment
- Community service or volunteer work
- Foreign language coursework and study abroad
- Independent study or self-designed major
- Culminating senior experience (comprehensive exam, capstone course,
thesis, project, etc.)
- Serious conversations with students of different religious beliefs,
political opinions, or personal values
- Serious conversations with students of a different race or ethnicity
- Using electronic technology to discuss or complete an assignment
- Campus environment encourages contact among students from different
economic, social, and racial or ethnic backgrounds
- Participate in a learning community or some other formal program where
groups of students take two or more classes together
