The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) documents dimensions of quality in undergraduate education and provides information and assistance to colleges, universities, and other organizations to improve student learning. Its primary activity is annually surveying college students to assess the extent to which they engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. This report presents highlights from the 2004 NSSE program. This is the fifth report featuring insights into the relationships between effective educational practice and selected aspects of student success. The data come from more than 160,000 first-year and senior students randomly sampled from more than 470 institutions. Other analyses examine a few noteworthy trends over time and the results from experimental items added to the NSSE online version, including the relationships between selected civic engagement activities and other educationally purposeful activities during college. Finally, as with previous reports, NSSE offers examples of how a variety of institutions are using their NSSE data. (Contains 15 tables and 3 notes.)
