The Preoccupation with Preparation
By Alfie Kohn

(NSSE, pronounced “nessie”)

Our agreements with schools that participate in NSSE prevents us from reporting the results for individual colleges and universities but we hope that broader NSSE findings can help you consider what research shows about the characteristics of a quality undergraduate education. However, individual schools may provide their NSSE results if asked. In fact, many institutions have posted key findings from their students’ responses to the survey on their institutional Web sites. To learn more about a specific institution’s NSSE results, we encourage you to visit their Web site or to contact the admissions office of the school directly. In the meantime, please explore our site more closely for valuable information on the college student experience.
