Instruments
Seven instruments, one per campus population
The Thriving Quotient is a family of validated survey instruments, each built for a different population on campus. All measure thriving on scales an institution can act on, all are administered the same way, and all are priced the same: survey administration from $750, with report packages from $1,500. Choose the instrument that fits the population you want to survey.

Sophomore Experiences Survey
For second-year students, at the point in the degree where institutions most often lose them.

Graduate Student Thriving Quotient
For master's and doctoral students.

What is the same across all seven
- Administration
- With the Basic Report Package, your campus distributes a survey link to the sampled population and responses return directly to The Thriving Project. With the Expanded Report Package or The Thriving Campus Package, the survey is administered for you through our Qualtrics platform. Reports are created at the end of each term.
- Packages
- Survey administration $750 · Basic report $1,500 · Expanded report $2,500 · Thriving Campus package $10,000. Three or more survey packages in one order earn 15% off those packages.
- Research use
- Researcher access for a single dissertation or study is $250, proposal first.
Choosing an instrument
Which Thriving Quotient instrument should our campus use?
Choose by population. There is one instrument each for undergraduates, second-year students, adult learners, graduate students, community college students, faculty and staff. A campus surveying more than one population orders one survey package per population, and three or more earn a 15% discount.
Are the instruments administered differently?
No. Every instrument is administered the same way: your campus distributes a survey link to the sampled population, responses return directly to The Thriving Project, and reporting follows once the survey window closes.
Is there an adjunct faculty instrument?
Yes, as a variant of the Faculty Thriving Quotient. It is chosen as the instrument at checkout rather than sold as a separate product.
