Frequency distributions are reported separately for

first-year students and seniors. Institution-reported

class levels are used. Of course, first-year student

reports of major are likely to be unstable, and

interpretations of first-year results should be made

with caution.

Students’ self-reported majors (primary major if two were reported) were

assigned to one of 85 majors. Institutions had the option to customize how these

were grouped into as many as eight major field categories. Institutions choosing

not to customize receive NSSE’s standard 8-category grouping.

Major categories with fewer than five respondents in a given class are not

reported. Comparison groups must contain at least three institutions with five or

more respondents in the major category, or they are left blank.

NSSE data serve to identify institutional strengths and weaknesses in reference to selected

comparison institutions, yet institution-level comparisons may not capture important variation in

student engagement that can be found within key sub-populations such as major. This report displays

the frequency distributions for the Other Professions major category at your institution and at your

selected comparison institutions.

Response options listed just as they

appear on the instrument.

Items that make up the five

"Benchmarks of Effective Educational

Practice" are indicated by the following:

SCE: Supportive

Campus Environment

SFI: Student-Faculty

Interaction

EEE: Enriching

Educational Experiences

This report is based on information from all randomly selected or

census-administered Other Professions students for both your institution

and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered

oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included.

Interpreting the Frequency Distributions

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.

Response Options The Count column represents the

actual number of students who selected

the particular option in each question.

The '%' column represents

the percentage of students

who selected the particular

option in each question.

All results displayed in this report are

unweighted.
