EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As part of the State Operated Colleges and Universities of The State University of New York (SUNY), Binghamton

University periodically administers the Student Opinion Survey (SOS), a nationally recognized instrument developed by

American College Testing Program (ACT) to a sample of undergraduate students. The same survey was administered in

2003, 2006, and 2012. SOS was not administered in 2009. The purpose of this survey is to measure student satisfaction

with the academic, student, and administrative programs, services, and facilities provided to undergraduate students.

During the Spring semester of 2015, Binghamton University administered this survey to randomly selected

undergraduate students. About 5,000 undergraduate students received the online survey via their B-mail requesting

their participation. Three reminder emails were also sent to those student who had not responded to the initial

invitation. Among the survey recipients, 1,298 students responded to the survey. The overall response rate for this

survey was 25.96%. After ACT removed the ‘partial and invalid’ responses, 1,108 students remained representing

22.16% percent of the sample surveyed.

Overview of the Report

This report offers overall findings of the 2015 administration as well as comparative analyses of the student responses to

this survey by academic schools/colleges. Students who provided identifying B numbers were included in this report

(n=942) with the exception of the SUNY comparison analyses. This report also provides a comparative analysis of the

results between 2012 and 2015 responses. Finally, it offers a comparative analysis of BU results with the results of other

SUNY University Centers. Appendix A provide crosstab analyses by gender, class levels, fluency in another language, and
