Reviewing Your NSSE 2011
Selected Comparison Groups Report
The NSSE Institutional Report displays results for each institution alongside three comparison groups which are customizable. In June,
your institution was invited to select comparison groups via the "Report Form" on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how
your comparison groups were selected, and lists the institutions within them.
NSSE comparison groups may be customized in several ways. Contacts may identify specific institutions from the list of all current-year
NSSE participants, compose the group using institutional characteristics, or begin with institutional characteristics, then add or remove
specific institutions to refine the comparison group .
If an institution does not customize a comparison group, NSSE provides default groups which provide relevant comparisons for most
institutions. The default groups are:
Comparison Group 1 - For institutions not in a NSSE consortium, this group contains current-year institutions in the same
geographic region and sector (public/private). For consortium institutions, it contains results for the other consortium members.
Comparison Group 2 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions sharing your institution's Basic Carnegie Classification.
Comparison Group 3 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions (Canadian participants are also included in this group for
Canadian institutions).
The selected comparison group locations in the institutional reports are illustrated in the mock report below for NSSEville State.
Comparison group 1 is "Mid East Private," comparison group 2 "Carnegie Class," and comparison group 3 "NSSE 2011."
