NAS set to release ratings study of Ph.D. programs
| Date: | September 1995 |
| Section: | Policy News |
The research community has been anxiously awaiting a new ratings study of Ph.D. programs by the National Academy of Sciences. Although the study has been postponed several times throughout the year, an NAS spokesperson said NAS is "fairly certain" the report will be released in September. The tentative release date is September 12.
The forthcoming document, Report on Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States, is expected to be an authoritative source of qualitative information on Ph.D. programs unparalleled by ratings published in the popular press. It will include a wealth of data on faculty, scholarly publications, financial standings and research facilities.
The last study was conducted in 1982.
Because of the intense interest expressed by our members, CRA will send out an electronic news bulletin as soon as the report is released. If you have not done so already, you may subscribe to the CRA Bulletin by sending the following command in the body of an e-mail message addressed to listproc@cra.org: subscribe cra_b firstname lastname.
