Undergraduate Student Satisfaction
Over the past 10 years the University of Minnesota has placed an increased emphasis on improving the student experience on all campuses. To measure student satisfaction with these efforts, every other year since 1997 the University has administered the Student Experiences Survey (SES). The 2003 SES was administered to a random sample of students enrolled on the four campuses during spring semester 2003.
The results of the 2003 SES survey show overall improvement in most areas over the results for 2001. The 2001 results were probably low in some areas because of the disruption caused by the change to the semester system and because of the extensive construction activity on the Twin Cities campus.
The figures below summarize the responses in 10 key areas for undergraduates on the Twin Cities campus.

Graduate and Professional Student Satisfaction
Satisfaction indices seem to be increasing slightly. This may be due to the improvement of physical facilities and the greater attention being paid to improving the quality of the graduate student experience.
The figures below show the results of the Student Experiences Survey of graduate and professional students on the Twin Cities campus for the period 1997-2003.
