The Department of Institutional Effectiveness administers Winthrop University's Graduating Senior Survey (GSS) one week prior to Commencement to the most recent spring, fall and summer graduating
seniors. The GSS includes questions regarding respondents’ satisfaction with Winthrop’s
academic and student support programs and services as well as questions regarding
post-graduation plans and outcomes.
The Department of Institutional Effectiveness administers Winthrop University's Alumni
Survey every other summer, to alumni who were awarded baccalaureate or graduate degrees
one to two years prior. Survey questions are designed to gather alumni perceptions
related to their experiences while at Winthrop University as well as to gather information
about post-graduation outcomes.
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) collects information about undergraduate
experiences from first-year and senior students attending a variety of four-year institutions.
The survey explores the extent to which students engage in effective educational practices
that are empirically linked with learning, personal development, and other desired
outcomes, such as student satisfaction, persistence, and graduation. Winthrop University
participates in the NSSE on a three-year cycle.
