4 P a g e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Graduate College at Missouri State University (MSU) conducts the Graduate Student Satisfaction Survey (GSSS) biannually to evaluate the attitudes of its current graduate students. The GSSS, originally developed by the Graduate Student Council, provides an opportunity for students to convey their satisfaction with their graduate program, the services provided by the Graduate College, and which factors influenced their decision to attend Missouri State University for graduate school. Analyses of the information from this survey may assist faculty and administration of Missouri State University in improving the graduate experience for its students. This report is unique because it presents the results from data collected over an eight year time period. ABOUT THE SURVEY The GSSS questionnaire (Appendix A) is comprised of roughly fifty questions constituting four major areas of interest: demographic information, reasons for attending MSU, Graduate College services, and degree program evaluations. The organization of this report will reflect the four areas. The questionnaire was distributed in the spring semester of 2002, 2005, 2007, and The targeted population included all graduate students who were enrolled at the beginning of the semester the survey was conducted. FINDINGS Graduate students rated geographical location as the most important factor in choosing MSU for graduate school. Survey respondents were consistently dissatisfied with the health insurance plans offered to graduate students. Mean ratings of satisfaction with Graduate Student Council representation has increased since 2005 even though this organization has been relatively inactive for the past few years. Part-time students reported dissatisfaction with the availability of advising for them. Many part-time students indicated that they would be interested in participating in a school/work/family balance program if one were available. Students report satisfaction with faculty competency and instructor timeliness.
5 P a g e PARTICIPANTS Participants were 2327 graduate students at Missouri State University. Individual sample sizes from years 2002, 2005, 2007, and 2009 were 539, 515, 845, and 428, respectively. The total sample included 775 men and 1,534 women (66%); 18 participants did not report gender. Majorities of participants (67%) were between the ages of twenty and thirty, were full-time students (67%), and among students responding in 2007 and 2009, 78% reported being Missouri residents (note: residency was not recorded prior to 2007). The demographic information of participants appears in Appendix B. METHODS This project was designed to evaluate a decade of responses to the Graduate Student Satisfaction Survey and to identify meaningful trends in the data. The questionnaire was approved by MSU s Human Subjects Institution Review Board each year that data were collected. Permission to send the mass s was obtained from the proper authorities to comply with MSU s mass policy. A list of addresses for all graduate students enrolled at the beginning of the semester in which data were collected was obtained from the Graduate College. s were sent from the Graduate College Services account to these addresses. The message included the survey s purpose statement, an invitation to participate voluntarily, a promise of anonymous reporting, and links to the online questionnaire. The data were collected via InQsit, an online testing service. SCALING Demographic questions used different scaling methods depending on the content of the question (e.g. nominal scale for sex: male/female). Scaling for the age and employment status items was not consistent from year to year, so data were grouped before the analysis. The Reasons for Attending MSU section items used a 5-point Likert scale based on importance of the reason (1= Not Important At All, 5= Very Important). The Graduate College Services and Program Evaluation sections used a 5-point Likert satisfaction scale ranging from (1=Very Dissatisfied) to (5=Very Satisfied). All Likert scaled items included a Not Applicable option, and these responses were not included in analyses. RESPONSE RATES For this report, response rates were calculated by dividing the number of completed surveys by the total graduate student headcount for each semester the questionnaire was administered (Missouri State University Enrollment Management, 2009). All submitted questionnaires were included in the response rate calculation and data analysis although some questionnaires were submitted incomplete. There were an abundance of partially completed questionnaires that were not submitted, and therefore, excluded from our analysis. The response rates for each year are 20.8% (2002), 18.0% (2005), 32.1% (2007), and 15.8% (2009). It is important to note that some error may exist in these calculations because we are unable to know
6 P a g e if all the students had the opportunity to respond. Several students may not have received invitations to participate because they did not access their accounts or their inbox was full. We should note that in 2009, MSU underwent a change in student service provider that could have also affected response rates. GRADUATE STUDENT SATISFACTION SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE The questionnaire (Appendix A) currently consists of fifty items with five extra items for part-time students. The questionnaire is comprised of four major sections: demographic variables; reasons for choosing MSU for graduate school; Graduate College services; and degree program evaluation. An extra section was included at the end of the part-time student questionnaire form. This section included five questions addressing issues specific to part-time graduate students (Table 1).

7 P a g e Since 2002, the items have changed slightly due to changes in university policies and offerings. The most significant change was the addition of six program evaluation items in 2005 and five Graduate College services items in DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Analysis of the demographic information shows some expected trends. The demographic information of those who responded to our survey reflects the demographics of MSU Springfield graduate students as indicated by census data. This is important because it supports the notion of representativeness. A representative sample allows us to interpret our sample as prototypical of the target population as a whole. Some of the findings include: More women responded (65%) than men. This is consistent with the gender composition (58.6% female) of graduate students on campus and the general tendency for females to respond to survey requests more than males. The year old age group doubled all other age groups combined. A majority of respondents (65.6%) were full-time students. Fall census data indicates that 73% of total Springfield campus students are full-time. A large majority of respondents were Missouri residents (78.0%). Fall 2009 census data indicates that 77% of graduate students are Missouri residents. Most students (86.5%) were employed either off campus or as Graduate Assistants. Response rates by college reflect graduate student enrollment data for the spring semester of 2009 (Appendix B-5). All of the demographic figures can be found in Appendix B. REASONS FOR CHOOSING MSU Students rated all but one reason for choosing Missouri State University as important (Figure 1). Furthermore, little variance existed between the means of each reason (excluding MOGO Scholarship availability). However, response differences did emerge when the data were analyzed by demographic variables. A few subgroups reported some reasons as more important than other groups. Results include: Students rated geographical location as the most important factor in choosing MSU for graduate school. This was especially true for Missouri residents (m = 4.31) who reported
8 P a g e MSU s geographical location as significantly more important than non-resident students (m = 3.66), t(1, 1188) = 8.72, p<0.05. Students also reported that interaction with faculty (m = 3.99) and tuition cost (m = 3.96) were important. Financial assistance availability also correlated with enrollment status, r = 0.23; full-time students (m = 3.92) rated financial assistance availability as significantly more important than part-time students (m = 3.24), t(1, 1463)=8.84, p<0.05. The Missouri Outreach Graduate Opportunity (MOGO) scholarship availability item was given the lowest mean importance rating. This is likely because a large majority of our respondents were Missouri residents and few qualify for the MOGO scholarship. However, the MOGO scholarship availability was significantly more important to nonresidents (m= 3.22) than residents (m=2.01), t(1,725)=10.93, p<0.05. No significant longitudinal trends emerged in any of the eight Reasons for Choosing MSU items over the years data were collected (Appendix C). Figure 1 below shows the mean importance ratings for each of the items. FIGURE 1.

9 P a g e GRADUATE COLLEGE SERVICES In general, graduate students are satisfied with services provided by the Graduate College and Missouri State University (Table 2). Among the highest rated services were the Graduate College s online communication and timeliness. The lowest rated services were the health insurance plans offered to graduate students and campus parking. Specific results include: Most respondents (84.5%) were either satisfied or very satisfied with the ability of MSU s information network ( access, Blackboard, wireless internet connection, etc.) to meet their communication needs. Among the lowest rated Graduate College services items is satisfaction with the health insurance plans offered to graduate students. A third (33.8%) of respondents reported being either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. Satisfaction with parking ratings were below the midpoint (3.00) of our scale for both years in which the item was included in to the questionnaire. Forty percent reported being dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. From 2002 to 2005, satisfaction with interlibrary loans increased. During this time, a new service providing students with electronic journal articles became available. The department also underwent changes in personnel that may have affected students satisfaction. In November of 2005 (after data were collected), a new system was installed to process interlibrary loan requests. Since 2005 the satisfaction ratings have been consistent and amongst the top rated services. Over one third (38.4%) of respondents reported being dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with library hours. Satisfaction with course registration dropped between 2007 and Over this time period, a new system (Banner) was introduced which may explain the decrease in satisfaction. Mean satisfaction ratings for Graduate Student Council s ability to represent student needs to administration have increased since For this item, 61.3% of respondents reported being neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. This may be due to graduate student s lack of information about GSC decisions.

Results show: Part-time students reported that they would likely attend Graduate Student Orientation. They also reported evenings as the times they are most likely to attend. Part-time students reported dissatisfaction with the availability of advising for them. A majority of part-time students (68%) reported being either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied.
11 P a g e Only 36% of part-time students reported that they would be likely to take a weekend course if it were offered. Many part-time students (44%) indicated that they would be interested in participating in a school/work/family balance program if one were available. PROGRAM EVALUATION The Graduate Program evaluation data can be analyzed and reported in several ways. Responses can be grouped by college, department, program, year, or demographic variable, but many of the programs for which data are reported have extremely small sample sizes. Those reviewing these data should be careful not to over-generalize findings reported here that are based on small sample sizes. In addition, certain questions on the GSSS have changed over time. For only a few questions asked consistently across multiple years were longitudinal analyses possible. First, item means were calculated for each of the ten program evaluation items. For all items in 2009, students were more satisfied than dissatisfied (Figure 2). Among the highest rated items were satisfaction with instructor s timeliness and faculty competency. Among the lowest rated items were satisfaction with course difficulty and comprehensive exams. It should be noted that at the time the survey was administered, many students had not taken their comprehensive exams. The data are presented below in Figure 2. FIGURE 2. PROGRAM EVALUATION ITEM MEANS FOR Program Evaluation Item Means
12 P a g e The ten program evaluation items were then combined to form the student s general satisfaction scale with good internal consistency (α = 0.875). With this scale a single satisfaction score (mean) was calculated for each respondent. The scores were then analyzed by year, college, and program. No major changes occurred over time in general satisfaction with graduate program (Figure 3). See Appendix E for college and program results. FIGURE 3. GENERAL SATISFACTION WITH GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM. Satisfaction with Graduate Programs Only weak correlations were found when demographic variables were correlated with each scale. Demographic variables were also correlated to the general student satisfaction scale (see Appendix E for the complete analyses). The following trends in these correlational analyses were found: Women (mean = 3.90) were more satisfied with their program than men (m = 3.80), t(1,1698) = 2.71, (p<0.05). Although statistically significant because of a large sample size, this difference was not very large. Part-time students (m = 3.91) were significantly more satisfied with their graduate program than full-time students (m = 3.84), t(1, 1704) = 2.08 (p < 0.05). Here, a measure of practical significance may be more appropriate because large sample sizes increase the likelihood of finding statistical significance.
