NASPAA Open Surveys

NASPAA collects data annually on a number of topics.  Below are a list of currently open surveys.  The Annual Data Report and the Alumni Survey have their own pages, please use the Menu to navigate for information regarding those surveys.

NASPAA is currently surveying the membership regarding their undergraduate majors and course offerings.  In recent years, NASPAA has heard anecdotally that our members are seeing an increase in the number of students interested in pursuing an public affairs undergraduate major.   NASPAA would like to replace the anecdotal evidence with real data.

Please take the time to complete NASPAA's Undergraduate Survey.  If you do not have a program please still complete the first two questions so NASPAA is aware of who does not offer programs as well.
