Satisfaction Differences Among the Madonna University Campuses. Bevin Rae Fusik, Madonna University, Department of Sociology, Livonia, MI 48150

The purpose of this research was to establish a snapshot of the current satisfaction of students at the five different Madonna University sites. This project isolated four questions which were retrieved from the Noel-Levitz survey conducted in the year 2004. The four questions became the dependent variables and all inquired about student satisfaction. The five different campuses were provided with surveys to distribute to their students. These sites in themselves became the independent variable. The dependent variable is the main campus the student attends. The five campus sites were provided as options to choose from along with two other variables which are "Other" and "Not Answered" (which is then considered Missing data). Four hypothesis stated in the null form were tested and supported by the findings. This specific question is fairly new, but school satisfaction measuring has been established almost as long as there have been schools. It is only natural to question how something is running to see whether or not it is worth investing the time and money. It has been found that there are differences among satisfaction of students among the campuses.
