1 MMA Senior Exit Survey Class of 2017 Findings During the spring of 2017, a senior exit survey was administered to Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) undergraduates anticipated to graduate as part of the Class of 2017 (i.e., students earning a degree between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017). The survey included questions about students experience at the Academy as well as the degree to which MMA education and experiences helped to increase students skills, abilities, or attitudes in areas tied to MMA s institutional student learning outcomes for undergraduate education. In total, 312 of the 351 students invited to participate in the survey responded (i.e., an overall response rate of 89%). This report provides an overview of the key questions from the survey. Demographics of survey respondents are also included. Select Survey Findings: 75% of all survey respondents (n=312) were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their overall experience at MMA. 89% of all survey respondents indicated Definitely Yes or Probably Would when asked if they would recommend MMA to a high school senior. A majority of survey respondents (68%) strongly agreed or agreed that tutoring through the Academic Resource Center is effective. 84% of survey respondents were very satisfied or satisfied with the ability to meet with faculty. More than 1 in 4 survey respondents were very dissatisfied or dissatisfied with the availability of courses they wanted. Additionally, 37% of survey respondents strongly disagreed or disagreed that online registration is effective. A majority of survey respondents (75%) strongly agreed or agreed that administration is accessible; that administration is responsive to student needs and requests (64%); and, that administration makes policies and procedures clear (63%). 73% of survey respondents were very satisfied or satisfied with leadership opportunities yet just 42% were very satisfied or satisfied with the leadership selection process. 79% or more of survey respondents were very satisfied or satisfied with classroom facilities, computer facilities, laboratory facilities, library facilities, and athletics/recreational facilities. In contrast, 56% and 58%, respectively, were very satisfied or satisfied with student housing and the TS Kennedy.

Of the 312 seniors who responded to the survey, 232 provided feedback about the most positive aspect of their MMA experience.

Among the students who provided feedback, the following were the top five key words that appeared when students talked about the most positive aspects of their MMA experience (percentages reflect the total number of comments that mentioned the given key word): 1.
