Survey Research
The Office of Planning and Analysis systematically collects information from students regarding their perceptions, attitudes, and experiences related to USF. Two surveys are conducted on a recurring basis and other surveys are conducted as needed or upon request.
Bachelor's Candidate Survey
The purposes of this survey are to a) gain insight into the perceptions, experiences and attitudes of graduating seniors, b) collect information to be used for outcomes assessment and intervention for quality improvement, and c) collect information about current and future plans of USF graduates. This survey is administered to all students who are candidates for bachelor's degrees at the end of each fall and spring term.

Graduate Candidate Survey
The purpose of this survey is to obtain information to improve the University's graduate programs and better meet student needs and expectations.
Specific topics covered on the survey include satisfaction with academic programs and support, satisfaction with USF services and facilities, other satisfaction areas, general satisfaction with the University, and post-graduation plans. Several open-ended items are provided to collect students' feedback and comments.
The survey is administered online to all candidates for graduate degrees (master's, specialist, and doctoral) at the end of the fall and spring terms. Graduate degree candidates completing degrees in the summer term and who are required to complete a thesis or dissertation to meet graduation requirements also complete the survey.
