Abstract
Campus climate and student satisfaction are important topics for any graduate program. Having information about what works and what does not, will benefit students and retention rates. The problem of this study was to investigate students’ attitudes toward their academic program, professional development opportunities, and support for graduate students at the master’s level at Bowling Green State University. To help assess student attitudes and satisfaction, a survey was sent to all master’s level students attending Bowling Green State University. The survey was web based and could be accessed through a link within an email invitation. The survey was designed to determine how students perceived their academic program, how they felt about professional development opportunities, and if they were receiving support they required. The survey was sent to 1572 students. A response rate of 22.3% was obtained. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS. Results are provided using frequencies and significance tests. Data from the survey revealed that the majority of master’s students attending BGSU are in fact, satisfied with their program, professional development, and support. Student-faculty relations scored very well across the board. Some programs scored lower than others. Qualitative data suggests students are less satisfied with course availability, training for teaching and research, and awareness of support services. Administrators can use this data to make informed decisions where master’s students are concerned.
