Digital Promise COVID-19 Student Survey Topline Data Report

This Digital Promise survey was conducted May 13-June 1, 2020, among a random national sample of 1,008 full- or part-time students enrolled in a two- or four-year college or university who were taking in-person or blended for-credit courses before the coronavirus outbreak began that then transitioned to remote instruction. The sample includes 620 students who took a STEM course that transitioned completely online. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.6 points for the full sample, 4.6 points among students who took a STEM course and 5.8 points among those who did not take a STEM course. Error margins are larger for subgroups. At a 50/50 division of opinion, a difference of 8 points between STEM and non-STEM students is needed for significance at the 95 percent confidence level.
