2 Times Higher Education US Student Survey How is the survey executed? The Times Higher Education Student Survey captures key milestones in the student s educational journey with their institution, covering motivation, engagement with learning, career impact, and satisfaction and value. The learning engagement measures capture core attributes of broad-based learning a critical component of highquality education with a long-term impact on students. The survey is conducted online. Respondents are recruited by research firm Streetbees, using social media, and facilitated, in part, by student representatives at individual schools, and using a database of student addresses collected by Ipsos MORI. What questions does the survey cover? The survey contributes 17 per cent of the overall ranking, comprising seven questions from the THE US Student Survey. Motivation Engagement with learning Impact on career Satisfaction and value One measure of motivation: why students choose to go into higher education Six measures of engagement with learning: interaction with faculty, collaborative learning, connection and reflection among concepts, application of learning, critical thinking and being challenged One measure of social engagement on campus One measure of career impact and one measure of value for money Two measures of holistic satisfaction and benefit: a willingness to recommend (also formulated as the Net Promoter Score) and choose again Demographic questions and free text for positive and negative feedback provide further nuance and critical context. How do my survey sample responses impact my ranking? For the purposes of the rankings, we have only analysed responses from degree-seeking undergraduate and master s students, excluding specialised programmes of MBA, MD and JD. The average total of valid responses per institution that met these criteria was almost 90 per institution, across 1,111 institutions. Students answer 12 core questions about their experience (either multiple choice or on a scale of zero to 10) and also provide background information about themselves. A total of 1,061 institutions are actually ranked in the 2017 Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings. The responses from those colleges have been used to compute the overall US results below. How many institutions participate in the survey? In, 2016 THE independently ran the THE Student Survey, involving more than 100,000 students across 1,111 American colleges and universities, and providing a rich insight into student engagement and learning across the country. The data can be used for benchmarking by any institution covered. 2 data@timeshighereducation.com data@timeshighereducation.com 3
