Customer Surveys

Anderson conducts surveys by telephone, by mail and online to capture our constituents' opinions and suggestions for improving our products and services. The surveys are voluntary if you choose to participate. You and your answers remain anonymous should you elect to provide this information anonymously.

It is important to remember that an Anderson survey will never ask you for personal information like your Social Security Number, your Taxpayer Identification Number or any credit card or bank information. An Anderson survey may ask you specific questions about your name, UNM NetId, and contact information. Salary information for the annual Career Services report is also collected online should you chosse to participate in this survey. If you receive a survey that requests personal information as detailed above, do not participate, it could be an attempt to steal your identity.

If you apply online for the MBA program (traditional, MACCT, and EMBA), you will be asked to submit your Social Security Number and a number of other items via postal mail that we will not request over the Internet.

Anderson surveys conducted online will provide an Anderson contact person if you wish to verify the authenticity of the survey.
