Evaluating Student Satisfaction in Undergraduate Biology Programs: A Case Study of Injibara University

This study evaluates undergraduate satisfaction with Injibara University's Biology program, addressing a gap in measuring nine academic quality dimensions. Guided by Astin's Input–Environment–Outcome model and Tinto's student integration, a survey of 53 students revealed an overall satisfaction rate of 84.6%, with high scores for teaching–learning (88.1%), program outcomes (92.4%), and continuous improvement (88.7%). Lower satisfaction emerged for research engagement (69.8%), resources (81.1%), and support services (83.0%), especially counseling and information and communication technology. One-way ANOVA showed significant cohort differences for program outcomes [ F (2,50) = 4.82, p = .012], research [ F (2,50) = 6.14, p = .004], and resources [ F (2,50) = 3.89, p = .027]. Recommendations include targeted resource allocation, enhanced support services, early experiential learning, and inclusive governance to strengthen academic quality and student experience.
