NSSE 2012Major Field Report Categories

This page documents how your NSSE 2012 Major Field Report categories were selected and what majors were included in each category. Students’ self-reported majors (first major if two were reported) were assigned to a standard list of 85 majors. Institutions had the option to customize how these were grouped, using up to eight related-major categories. Institutions choosing not to customize receive NSSE’s eight standard categories. The mapping of the 85 majors for your report is given below.

Variable Names Class Major Categories Overall Results

Survey Item

Benchmark

NSSE urges institutions to "look within," calling attention to the need to examine variation in the student experience at your institution. Your average student does not describe all students and groups on your campus. This report provides an overview of your students' responses by groups of related majors.

Frequency distributions are given separately by institution-reported class level. Of course, first-year student majors may be unstable, and their results should be interpreted with caution.

The "Overall" results include all respondents for your institution by class, and may include students whose major did not fall into one of the categories or who didn't indicate a major. These results are identical to those found in your Institutional Report.

Self-reported majors (primary major if two were reported) were identified from the survey. Institutions had the option to customize how these were grouped, using up to eight related-major categories. Institutions choosing not to customize receive NSSE’s eight standard categories as shown in the example below.

Frequency distributions are reported for these major categories within your institution . Major categories with fewer than five respondents in a given class are not reported in frequencies (i e the column is blank as shown

The name of each variable appears in the first column for easy reference to your raw data file.

The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument.

This report is based on information from all randomly selected or census-administered students for your institution. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included.

reported in frequencies (i.e., the column is blank as shown below).

All major field category results displayed in this report are unweighted. Only the overall column percentage is weighted, as it is in your Institutional Report .

The '%' column represents the percentage of students who selected the particular option in each question.

The Count column represents the actual number of students who selected the particular option in each question.

NSSE 2012 Major Field Report: Part I. Within-Institution ComparisonsInterpreting the Benchmark Statistics

To focus discussions about the importance of student engagement and to guide institutional improvement efforts, NSSE created five Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice: Level of Academic Challenge, Active and Collaborative Learning, Student-Faculty Interaction, Enriching Educational Experiences, and Supportive Campus Environment.

NSSE urges institutions to "look within," calling attention to the need to examine variation in the student experience at your institution. Your average student does not describe all students and groups on your campus. This report provides an overview of your students' benchmark scores by groups of related majors and class level.

Self-reported majors (primary major if two were reported) were identified from the survey. Institutions had the option to customize how these were grouped, using up to eight related-major categories. Institutions choosing not to customize receive NSSE’s eight standard categories as shown in the example below.

Benchmark scores are reported for these major categories within your institution . Major categories with fewer than twenty respondents in a given class are not reported in

Benchmark scores are given separately by institution-reported class level. Of course, first-year student majors may be unstable, and their results should be interpreted with caution.

The "Overall" results include all respondents for your institution by class, and may include students whose major did not fall into one of the categories or who didn't indicate a major. These results are identical to those found in your Institutional Report

Mean

N

WeightingAll major field category results displayed in this report are unweighted. The benchmark scores in the overall column are weighted, as they are in your Institutional Report .

The mean is the arithmetic average of the students' benchmark scores where students answered at least 3/5ths of the benchmark items.

The N column represents the actual number of students who contributed to the benchmark mean. Students who did not respond to at least 3/5ths of each benchmark's items are not included.

twenty respondents in a given class are not reported in benchmark statistics (i.e., the column is blank as shown below).

a Major categories with fewer than twenty respondents in a given class are not reported (i.e., the column is blank). NSSEID: 888888b Related-major category statistics are unweighted. Overall statistics are weighted by gender and enrollment status.c Standard deviation is a measure of the amount the individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution.d The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.
