In addition to the 114 universities represented in this discipline, another 3 were initially identified as meeting the criteria' for inclusion in the assessment: Idaho State University Lehigh University University of Northern Colorado Mathematics programs at these three institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordinator either indicated that the institution did not at that time have a research-doctorate program in mathematics or failed to provide the information requested by the committee. Before examining the individual program results presented in Table 6.1, the reader is urged to refer to Chapter II, in which each of the 16 measures used in the assessment is discussed.

Although in both figures there is a significant positive correlation between program size and reputational rating, it is quite apparent that some of the smaller programs received high mean ratings and some of the larger programs received low mean ratings.

From page 97... ... 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. 6 See Chapter IX for a comparison of the "resurvey" results with the original survey ratings for these 11 other mathematics programs.
