Factbook
The Eastern Mennonite University Factbook is produced annually by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. The Factbook includes historical and archival information about Eastern Mennonite University. Trend data on enrollment, graduation rates, admissions, and more, are included in the Factbook. Electronic data from the Student Information System (SIS) are frozen annually, in the fall of each academic year, and used in the creation of tables included in the Factbook, and to provide archival information.
Common Data Set
What is the Common Data Set ? It is comprised of a standard set of questions (with standard definitions) that most institutions complete in the fall of each academic year. Representatives from higher education and publishers (e.g., US News and World Reports) have worked together to develop this set of information, in an attempt to reduce data collection burden and to standardize information that is requested from various sources.
CIRP Freshman Survey
The Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshman Survey is produced by the Higher Education Research Institute of UCLA. The survey is administered at EMU to first-time first-year entering students at the beginning of every other fall semester. Survey items are analogous to the items administered to graduating seniors on the College Student Survey (CSS). Pre-post longitudinal data (CIRP and CSS) are available for students who agree to participate.
CSS Senior Survey
The College Senior Survey (CSS; aka College Student Survey) is produced by the Higher Education Research Institute of UCLA. The survey addresses areas such as student-faculty interaction, academic challenge and achievement, faith development, student motivation, satisfaction with campus experience, campus climate, time-usage and political orientation. Graduating seniors at EMU complete the survey in the spring of even years (e.g., 2006, 2008, etc.)
HERI Faculty Survey
The HERI Faculty Survey is produced by the Higher Education Research Institute of UCLA. The survey includes questions in the areas of morale, sources of stress, organizational health, student academic and personal development, and faculty professional development. The survey is administered every three years.
Impact Study
The Impact Study is an in-house study of Eastern Mennonite University’s impact on the local community and economy.
EMU Alumni Survey
The EMU Alumni Survey is an in-house developed survey that addresses alum’s opinions in a number of areas: student educational outcomes, quality of eduction, quality of support services and quality of faculty. The survey is administered every five years (e.g. 2003, 2005, etc.).
EMU Faculty-Staff Survey
The EMU Faculty-Staff Survey is an in-house developed survey that addresses faculty and staff members’ opinions in a number of areas: institutional resources, work-environment, job satisfaction, student outcomes, support services, advising and faculty development. The survey is administered every three years (e.g., 2006, 2009, etc.).
Admitted Student Questionnaire
The Admitted Student Questionnaire is administered every three years (e.g., May 2006, May 2009, etc.) to first-time first-year students who have been admitted to EMU for the fall. The survey is produced by College Board and compares enrolling and non-enrolling students’ ratings of the importance of various aspects in selecting a college, images that describe the college, information sources used, financial aid, and how EMU compares to other colleges that they considered. Yield rates (i.e., the percent of students who enrolled) and national comparison data are provided for each of the items.
Education Survey of Graduating Seniors
The General Education Survey of Graduating Seniors is an in-house survey developed as a measure of students’ perceptions of the importance and their own improvement on knowledge, skills, and attitudes addressed by the general education curriculum. The survey is administered to graduating seniors every-other year in the spring. A comparison survey is administered to first-year students, which asks them to rate the importance and their perception of their own preparation on the same items. A separate, shortened version of the survey was administered to graduating Adult Degree Completion Program students in both Harrisonburg and Lancaster.
Survey of Student Engagement
The National Survey of Student Engagement was developed as a tool for examining student responses to several areas of university life: level of academic challenge, active and collaborative learning, student-faculty interaction, enriching educational experiences, and supportive campus environment. The survey is administered nation-wide and peer comparison data and national benchmark data are provided.
Student Satisfaction Inventory
The SSI reflects the candid opinions of current students on topics critical to college choice and satisfaction such as academic advising, instructional effectiveness, campus safety and security, and student centeredness. The SSI is especially useful because it indicates what is most important to our students, measures how well we meet their expectations, and then compares their opinions with those of students attending other national colleges and universities. The national comparison includes 268,486 student responses from 391 institutions.
