===== PAGE 1 ===== NSSE 2019 Selected Comparison Groups Kentucky State University ===== PAGE 2 ===== # NSSE 2019 Selected Comparison Groups About This Report ## Comparison Groups The NSSE Institutional Report displays core survey results for your students alongside those of three comparison groups. In May, your institution was invited to customize these groups via a form on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were constructed and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized by (a) identifying specific institutions from the list of all 2018 and 2019 NSSE participants, (b) composing the group by selecting institutional characteristics, or (c) a combination of these. Institutions that chose not to customize received default groupsa that provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. Institutions that appended additional question sets in the form of Topical Modules or through consortium participation were also invited to customize comparison groups for those reports. The default for those groups was all other 2018 and 2019 institutions where the questions were administered. Please note: Comparison group details for Topical Module and consortium reports are documented separately in those reports. ## Report Comparisons Comparison groups are located in the institutional reports as illustrated in the mock report at right. In this example, the three groups are "Admissions Overlap," "Carnegie UG Program," and "NSSE Cohort."

## Reading This Report This report consists of three sections that provide details for each of your comparison groups, illustrated at right. Comparison Group Name → Comparison Group 1: Admissions Overlap The name assigned to the comparison group is listed here. How Group was Constructed Indicates whether your group was drawn from a list, built based on criteria, or is the default group. If institutional characteristics were used to build your comparison group, they are listed here. This section summarizes how this group was identified, including selection criteria and whether the default group was used. This is followed by the resulting list of institutions in this group. ## Institution List The names, cities and states or provinces of the comparison institutions are listed for your reference. NSSE 2018 participants are identified with an asterisk. Comparison Group 1: For institutions not in a NSSE consortium, this group contains 2018 and 2019 NSSE institutions in the same geographic region and sector (public/private). For consortium institutions, it contains results for the other 2018 (if applicable) and 2019 consortium members. Comparison Group 2: All other 2018 and 2019 U.S. NSSE institutions sharing your institution's Basic Carnegie Classification. (Canadian institutions are not classified by the Carnegie Foundation, and must identify a comparison group.) Comparison Group 3: All other 2018 and 2019 U.S. NSSE institutions (2018 and 2019 Canadian participants are also included in this group for Canadian institutions). ===== PAGE 3 ===== # NSSE 2019 Selected Comparison Groups Kentucky State University ## Comparison Group 1: HBCU This section summarizes how this group was identified, including selection criteria and whether the default group was used.
