College Surveys
To assess student learning at the institutional level, the Office of Institutional Analysis administers national and regional benchmark surveys and ad hoc surveys, completes analyses, and writes reports of findings. (Survey Calendar)
The following links display reports based on Gettysburg results collected through surveys, many of which serve as indirect evidence of student learning outcome achievement. These surveys also yield useful information on student pre-college characteristics and learning processes/environments. (Note: A College network username and password are required to log in.)
