The University of Michigan Arts Engagement Project, 2010-2015

The Arts Engagement Project is a survey of 4,828 undergraduate students conducted at the University of Michigan (U-M) that asked questions about the impacts, precursors, barriers, frequency, and perceptions of co-curricular arts engagement in college. The study followed the students from their entry into the university through their graduation to create a baseline of understanding about the impacts of arts engagement in college at U-M. The Arts Engagement Project data is intended to provide insights for the design of arts-based experiences in higher education, as well as the impacts of the arts on student learning and engagement.
