Abstract
Transferable skills, such as problem solving and analytical writing, play an important role
in students' appeal to prospective employers. This study explores whether senior students'
development of these transferable skills were related to their perceptions of satisfaction with
their higher education institutions. Using data from the NSSE 2012 administration, regression
analyses suggest that problem solving skills were a significant positive predictor of institutional
satisfaction, even when controlling for other demographic and institutional characteristics.
Analytical writing skills were also a significant positive predictor of institutional satisfaction.
