SOURCE: National Research Council, Survey of Earned Doctorates, specialtabulations, May 1996. Note: In 1990 the NRC implemented new follow-up procedures for nonresponse to several items, including race/ethnicity. Therefore, data for 1990, 1992 and 1994 may overstate increases in minority Ph.D.'s awarded over figures reported for previous years. * Figures for 1976 include Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans only.
