  • The University of Charleston ranks above the 90th percentile on the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). Though the University of Charleston fares well in the annual college rankings, the NSSE is being viewed nationally as a more accurate, effective means of measuring the impact the institutions are having on the actual educational experiences of the students. In other words, instead of emphasizing prestige and selectivity, it measures effectiveness and quality of student learning. Additional information on the National Survey of Student Engagement can be found on their Web site (www.indiana.edu/~nsse). The site contains links to articles written by The Christian Science Monitor, The New York Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and National Public Radio.
