Welcome to the FSSE Report Builder

You choose the group. We'll show you the results.

The FSSE Report Builder is a public, interactive tool that instantly generates aggregate reports of your choosing. The tool draws from a secure database of responses from the three most recent years of FSSE and can be queried using any combination of faculty and institutional characteristics. You can choose to create a report of item frequencies from either the Course-Based or the Typical-Student option of FSSE.

This is the public version. To protect the identities of institutions represented in the data, institutions will not be listed or named. A secure version for participating institutions is under development and will soon be available via the FSSE Institution Interface. Check back for details.

The following pages will guide you through five easy steps to filter the data and produce results tables according to your selections:
