Northwestern Senior Graduation Survey
The Northwestern Senior Survey is administered to both December and May graduates of any given academic year. This local developed instrument was designed to survey vocational information, student plans, activities, levels of satisfaction with UNW programs and services, and perceived college outcomes. The data gathered is used to compare the graduating senior class with previous senior classes where data is available. The items for the survey are selected by the Assessment Steering committee with input from a variety of campus offices and committees, and tailored to the distinctives of Northwestern.
