Survey Research

The office of Institutional Effectiveness administers the Student Opinion Survey, National Survey for Student Engagement (NSSE) and the HER I Faculty Survey. Results for these surveys can be found on the Academic Assessment web page.

Student Opinion Survey

In the spring of 2012, as part of an ongoing effort to study the quality of student life on campus, the SUNY System Administration Office of Institutional Research and Analysis led the system's institutions in a cooperative research effort to assess students' impressions of their college education. The 20012 project was the tenth in the series of survey projects; earlier projects were conducted in 1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2009. Results from the 2012 assessment can be found here.

Withdrawing Student Survey

In an ongoing effort to assess student satisfaction and success, SUNY Canton asks all students who leave the institution to complete a survey asking them for the reasons for their departure as well as their future plans. The survey instrument asks students to respond on a likert scale with the level of importance of various college type, academic, financial, and personal reasons in their decision to leave SUNY Canton in order to assess why students are not retained.

Graduate Survey

SUNY Canton administered a survey at graduation and six months after graduation to gather data related to the current employment and continuing education status of graduates, as well as their feelings of preparedness for the workforce and further studies. In addition, the graduate survey administered six months after graduation asks program-specific questions to analyze student levels of satisfaction with the program in addition to assessing program student learning outcomes.
