COS--The College Outcomes Survey

The purpose of the College Outcomes Survey is to assess enrolled students’ perception of their progress and the importance that they attach to the college contributions to a variety of college outcomes. It is also to assess their satisfaction with selected aspects of a college’s programs and services. The College Outcomes Survey is divided into six sections. Section one asks for background information; section two centers on college outcomes; section three refers to satisfaction with given aspects of the college; section four concerns students’ experiences at this institution; section five requires optional or additional question items.
