The numbers don't lie
Numbers don’t lie: Ohio Northern University is among the best in the country when it comes to high-impact learning opportunities for students, per a 2016 national survey.
According to The College Student Report 2016, Ohio Northern University students continue to pursue high-impact learning opportunities at a higher rate than most college students.
The report, produced by National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), details responses from more than 300,000 first-year and senior students attending 512 U.S. universities. The survey was conducted last spring.
High-impact learning opportunities include internships, co-ops, field experience, capstone projects and more.
ONU continues to outpace similar universities while besting national averages by 20 points or more in several relevant areas.
Similarly, 98 percent of senior ONU students reported involvement in a culminating senior experience, compared with 70 percent of students nationwide.
Effective teaching continues to distinguish Ohio Northern, and the NSSE results underscore that emphasis as well.
ONU’s senior students gave high marks for effective teaching practices, as ONU has ranked highly in this area in the four-year trend section of the report.
As the report indicates, ONU students find that faculty members, overall, have clearly defined expectations and utilize innovative teaching practices. Further, faculty members tend to involve ONU students in the types and levels of research that are uncommon for the undergraduate college experience.
