2005 Senior Survey Results

The KU Senior Survey assesses the level of student satisfaction on a broad range of university experiences. The survey is administered to seniors during their spring term and has been conducted seven times since 1977.

Results from the 2005 survey indicated that student satisfaction is at an all time high in many areas.

91% of seniors are highly satisfied with their overall education at KU as compared to the historic average of 78%.
92% of seniors would attend KU over again as compared to the historic average of 88%.
Satisfaction with many academic experiences is at the highest level since the inception of the survey.

Background
The Senior Survey has been conducted seven times at 4- or 5-year intervals: 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2005. The original survey was developed as part of a project at the six Kansas Board of Regents universities to develop a baseline measure of the level of student satisfaction with the university experience with a deliberate timetable for reassessment. The 2005 Senior Survey was conducted in April of 2005 and for the first time was administered online. The resulting response rate of 53% was the highest since the inception of the survey.
