2009 CIRP College Senior Survey available online

The results are in for the 2009 CIRP College Senior Survey (CSS). The CSS asks senior students about their behaviors, both inside and out of the classroom, their values and educational goals, and their attitudes regarding their collegiate experiences.

Overall, UND scored fairly well on this survey, scoring significantly better than other public universities on four of nine areas summarized by the survey, including student-faculty interaction, satisfaction with coursework, sense of belonging and negative cross-racial interactions. UND scored significantly worse than public universities on just one of the nine areas: positive cross-racial interactions. UND did not score significantly different on the remaining four areas of academic disengagement, overall satisfaction, social agency and civic awareness.
