In addition to the 143 universities represented in this discipline, another 4 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: University of California -- San Francisco Fordham University Lehigh University SUNY at Albany Chemistry programs at these four institutions have not in the evaluations in this discipline since in each case _ _ coordinator either indicated that the institution did not at time have a research-doctorate program in chemistry or failed to provide the information requested by the committee. Before examining individual program results presented in Table 3.1, the reader is urged to refer to Chapter II, in which each of the 16 been included She study that data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 7,843 research doctorates in chemistry were awarded by U.S. Read the entire page →
From page 34... ... \ To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of the faculty in 14S chemistry programs (and are given in Table 3.1~. For each program the mean rating and an associated Confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in Figure 3.3 (listed in order of highest to lowest mean rating) Read the entire page →
From page 35... ... 35 have somewhat more confidence in the accuracy of the mean ratings of higher-rated programs than lower-rated programs. This generalization results primarily from the fact that evaluators are not as likely to be familiar with the less prestigious programs, and consequently the mean ratings of these programs are usually based on fewer survey responses.
