By agreement with the provincial ministry and the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, Ontario institutions participate in NSSE on a rotational schedule for inclusion of results in their Multi-year Accountability Reports. 2011 was a reporting year accounting for the higher NSSE participation rate in Canada. 3 2011 RESPONDENT CHARACTERISTICS MRU’s sample included applied, transfer, and degree seeking first-year (FY) and senior-year (SR) students. The sample size for SR students is small compared to FY due to small senior cohorts in new degree programs.

Students will encounter subjects taught from a distinctly Christian point of view and engage with faculty, trained at prestigious universities from around the world, for whom Christ’s Dr. Barry Smith commandment resonates deeply within their person, their research and their teaching. We believe that to love the Lord our God with heart, soul and mind is to understand His story, a story of truth, hope and healing, to embrace it as a learning community, and to proclaim it to the world. Tyndale is committed to imparting this story to our students through academic experiences and community involvement so that they may grow in knowledge and faith and use their gifts to affect the community and culture around them.
