Note: A total of XX.X percent of your institution's doctorate recipients responded to the Survey of Earned Doctorates in 2014;
nationwide, 90.5 percent of doctorate recipients responded to the SED.
S&E = science and engineering; -- = data not available; † = See http://classifications.carnegiefoundation.org/ for information about 2010 Carnegie classifications.
a American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, black or African American, and white are single race who are not Hispanic; Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. Other race or race not reported category includes Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and doctorate recipients who are not Hispanic or Latino and did not indicate their race.
b Interdisciplinary dissertation research is captured by response to primary and secondary dissertation research field items. Respondents reporting a secondary dissertation research field are considered interdisciplinary and counted under the broad field of their first reported dissertation research field.
c Captured by TTDDOC, which measures time between entry to either the doctoral program or to a related (in same field of study at same institution) or required master’s program and the doctoral award.
NOTES: S&E includes physical science/mathematics, engineering, life sciences, and social sciences. Non S&E includes humanities, education and other professional fields. Salary ranges include only doctorate recipients reporting definite postgraduation plans who responded to salary. Research assistantships funded by the federal government are counted as university support. Except for those reported for the sex variable, all percentages are based on total responses with missing data excluded. Percentage totals may not sum to 100 because of rounding. Percents calculated based on a small number of cases should be interpreted with caution.
