NSSE 2016 Major Field Report, Part IIAbout This Report
High-Impact Practices (p. 8) Results on student participation in six High-Impact Practices (HIPs). See your High-Impact Practices report for more details.
Self-reported majors (first major given if two were reported) were identified from the survey. Your institution had the option to customize how these were grouped, using up to ten related-major groups. Institutions choosing not to customize their related-major groups receive NSSE's ten default groups. The majors used in this report are listed on the cover page of this report.
NSSE results included in MFR, Part II ● Engagement Indicators
● High-Impact Practices
● Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons
● Respondent Profile
Related-major groups with fewer than 20 respondents in a given class are not reported (columns are blank). Comparison groups must also contain at least 20 respondents in the major category, or they remain blank. Although 20 is a minimum requirement, keep in mind that any statistical result requires a sufficient number of respondents per group to produce a reliable estimate. Due to the disaggregation of results by student-reported major, the Major Field Report results are unweighted.
NSSE data serve to identify institutional strengths and weaknesses in reference to selected comparison institutions, yet institution-level comparisons may not capture important variation in student engagement that can be found within key subpopulations such as major. This report displays selected results for students at your institution and at your selected comparison institutions in the major category: Business.
This report is based on information from all randomly selected or census-administered students in the indicated group of majors for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included.
Results are presented separately by institution-reported class level. Keep in mind that majors are student-reported. First-year students may report intended majors that have not yet been declared. Also, much of the first-year experience may take place outside of the major field. For these reasons, first-year results should be interpreted with caution.
Engagement Indicators (pp. 3-7) Results on NSSE's ten Engagement Indicators (EIs) organized into four themes. See your Engagement Indicators report for more details.
Respondent Profile (pp. 45-51) Response frequencies for all demographic questions for your institution and your three core comparison groups.
Frequencies and Statistical
Comparisons (pp. 9-44)
Response frequencies and statistical comparisons (including tests of significance and effect sizes) for all survey items except the demographics for your institution and your three core comparison groups.

Engagement Indicators are summary measures based on sets of NSSE questions examining key dimensions of student engagement. The ten indicators are organized within four themes: Academic Challenge, Learning with Peers, Experiences with Faculty, and Campus Environment. The tables below compare average scoresa for your students in this related-major category with students in your comparison groups within the same category.

These are the values used to calculate means. For the majority of items, these values match the codes in the data file and codebook. For items estimating number of papers and hours per week, the values represent actual units using the midpoints of response option ranges and an estimate for unbounded options.
Effect size for independent t -tests uses Cohen's d; z -tests use Cohen's h.
All results are unweighted.
Means calculated from ordered response options (e.g., Very Often, Often, Sometimes, Never) assume equal intervals and should be interpreted with caution. Unless otherwise noted, statistical comparisons are two-tailed independent t-tests. Exceptions are the dichotomous high-impact practice items (11a to 11f) which are compared using a z-test.
Items that make up the Engagement Indicators include the following two-letter prefixes: CL = Collaborative Learning, DD = Discussions with Diverse Others, ET = Effective Teaching Practices, HO = Higher-Order Learning, LS = Learning Strategies, QI = Quality of Interactions, QR = Quantitative Reasoning, RI = Reflective and Integrative Learning, SE = Supportive Environment, and SF = Student-Faculty Interaction.
Percentage of students who responded "Done or in progress" except for service-learning which is the percentage who responded that at least "Some" courses included a community-based project.
Cohen's h: The standardized difference between two proportions. Effect size indicates the practical importance of an observed difference. NSSE research has found that interpretations vary by HIP: For service-learning, internships, study abroad, and culminating senior experiences, an effect size of about .2 may be considered small, .5 medium, and .8 large. For learning community and research with faculty, an effect size of about .1 may be considered small, .3 medium, and .5 large (Rocconi & Gonyea, 2015).
Standard error of the mean, used to compute a confidence interval (CI) around the sample mean. For example, the 95% CI is the range of values that is 95% likely to contain the true population mean, equal to the sample mean +/- 1.96 * SEM.
A percentile is the point in the distribution of student-level EI scores at or below which a given percentage of EI scores fall.
Degrees of freedom used to compute the t -tests. Values differ from Ns due to whether equal variances were assumed.
Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance: *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001 (2-tailed).
Cohen's d: The mean difference divided by the pooled standard deviation. Effect size indicates the practical importance of an observed difference. For EI comparisons, NSSE research has concluded that an effect size of about .1 may be considered small, .3 medium, and .5 large (Rocconi & Gonyea, 2015). Comparisons with an effect size of at least .3 in magnitude (before rounding) are highlighted in the Overview.
Statistical comparison uses z -test to compare the percentage who responded "Done or in progress."
Note: It is important to interpret the direction of differences relative to item wording and your institutional context.
