Background Information on UNC-GA Surveys

NC State is part of the University of North Carolina system.
The NC State surveys help us participate in UNC’s system-wide survey process.

  • UNC-Office of the President (UNC-OP):
    • surveys new freshmen, second-term sophomores, graduating seniors, and bachelors’-degree alumni.
    • surveys students at all 16 UNC campuses. The freshman, sophomore, and senior surveys are administered by the campuses. UNC-OP administers their alumni surveys.

  • UNC-OP’s:
    • surveys are on a 2-year schedule. NC State surveys new students and seniors every year, sophomores every other year, and alumni every third year.
    • alumni survey is for alumni one year after graduation. NC State’s alumni survey is for alumni one to three years after graduation.

  • NC State’s freshman, sophomore, and senior surveys include UNC-OP’s questions as well as additional questions of our own. Our alumni survey includes questions similar to UNC-OP’s, as well as our own items.
