Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) 2009 OSU Results (Student Affairs Research Report, 01-10)
Get PDFOSU entering first year students who attended a summer START session and were 18 years old or older were asked to participate in the Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) survey. The BCSSE was designed to measure the high school experiences and college expectations of entering first year students. Further the BCSSE parallels the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) which is administered to senior students and first year students during the winter and spring terms. Thus, by using both instruments, the experiences of first year students can be examined in terms of high school experiences, expected experiences in college, and actual college experiences. This report examined the responses of first year students on the BCSSE. Additional reports will be issued after the NSSE data is available in Fall, 2010

Get PDFThis current report provides only a snapshot of the high school experiences and expectations for entering students’ first college year. As expected the results are consistent with the 2009 BCSSE results.
Overall, OSU’s entering students are optimistic about their ability to succeed at OSU. They generally report feeling well-prepared in most areas with the possible exception of mathematics. Most expect to graduate from OSU with their degree and they expect to engage in the intellectual/academic environment at OSU. They want and expect a challenging academic environment as well as wanting to have access to campus events and activities. Further, they want access to services that will help them succeed academically. They expect to work more hours for pay, study somewhat more, and have more time to relax and socialize than they had in their last year of high school. They are concerned overall about their ability to pay for college and this is especially true for first generation students
