2004 & 2010 Campus Climate Surveys:
Trend Report
The Campus Climate Survey (CCS) was administered in the spring of 2004 and fall of 2010 by NC State's Office of Institutional Planning and Research office (UPA) in collaboration with the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity (formerly, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion). The purpose of the survey was to collect information and opinions from undergraduate and graduate students about the campus climate to better enable academic and non-academic units across campus assess and improve the climate for all students, and to help in our efforts to enhance all students' understanding of and appreciation for global perspectives. Topics covered in the survey include:
- Satisfaction with various aspects of being an NC State student
- Interactions with others on campus
- Participation in multicultural activities
- Perceptions about the role of diversity in higher education
- The role of NC State experiences in shaping attitudes about diversity
- Impressions of campus supportiveness
The survey included a wide range of demographic questions, allowing results to be broken out not just by, for example, gender and race/ethnicity, but also by sexual orientation, disability status, age (traditional versus 'nontraditional'), socio-economic status, first-generation student versus non-first generation, and U.S. versus international residency status. For more information on survey administration, please see the 2010 and 2004 Introduction, Research Methods, and Response Rates documents.
