The opportunity for national recognition is exciting, but the most valuable part of participation in this program is the survey data you receive. It is our goal to help participating institutions understand the dynamics and influences that are having the greatest impact on their own campus culture and that ultimately are shaping the future of the higher education community.

To that end, each participating institution receives three Topline Reports summarizing key results from your faculty/staff survey, as well as aggregate results from the Institution Questionnaire© submissions. Click on the images below to see report samples. These reports are included at NO COST to participants. The Great Colleges program provides advanced reporting options for an additional fee. Please visit Additional Reports for more information.

This one-page graphical summary shows your institution’s overall survey results within ten different dimensions.

The Trend Report provides comparative data for some of the most relevant demographics and policies. It includes aggregate data from a selection of the questions asked on the Institution Questionnaire© (IQ) that each participant completes as part of their participation in the program. Summarized in both chart and graphical form, we highlight in aggregate what schools are doing so that you can see trends as well as where you stand relative to your peers. The report includes information that profiles the applicant pool, including information about select programs and policies. We continue to enhance this report year after year so the format and content are subject to change.  Download an EXCERPT from the 2022 Higher Education Workplace Trend Summary here.
