Institutional Data Reporting

For the purposes of comparison and assessment, the University Data Office continually compares institutional data with national benchmarks.

National Survey of Student Engagement

Every few years, UM participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).

At University of Montana we want our students to have the best educational experience possible, and the NSSE helps by providing vital information about activities in and out of the classroom. Surveys are open to first-year and senior students.
