m Cheniis~y Programs In this chapter 145 research-doctorate programs in chemistry are assessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by their universities, have accounted for 7,304 doctoral degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 93 percent of the aggregate number of chemistry doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five-year span.t On the average, 75 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 23 members.2 The 145 programs, listed in Table 3.1, represent 143 different universities-- the University of Akron and the University of Kansas each have two chemistry programs included in the assessment. All but three of the programs were initiated prior to 1970. 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. universities between FY1976-and FY1980. 2 See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 3.2. 3As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was that a university had awarded at least 13 doctorates in chemistry during the FY1976-78 period. 33

34 measures used in the assessment is discussed. Summary statistics describing every measure are given in Table 3.2. For all but two measures, data are reported for at least 139 of the 145 chemistry programs. For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data are available for 87 programs; for measure 14, total university expenditures for research in this discipline, data are available for 96 programs. The programs not evaluated on these two measures are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate student enrollment--than other chemistry programs. Were data on measures 12 and 14 available for all 145 programs, it is likely that the reported means for these two measures would be appreciably lower (and that some of the correlations of these measures with others would be higher). Tntercorrelations among the 16 measures {Pearson product-moment coefficients) are given in Table 3.3. Of particular note are the high positive correlations of the measures of program size (01-03) with measures of publication records (15, 16) and reputational survey ratings (08, 09, and 11~. Figure 3.1 illustrates the relation between the mean rating of the scholarly quality of faculty (measure 08) and the number of faculty members (measure 01) for each of the 14S programs in chemistry. Figure 3.2 plots the mean rating of program effectiveness (measure 09) against the total number of FY1976-80 program graduates (measure 02~. 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 that some of the larger programs received low mean ratings. Table 3.4 describes the 301 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of chemistry programs. These individuals constituted 69 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 9 percent of the faculty population in the 145 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.. A majority of the survey participants were organic or physical chemists and held the rank of full professor. Almost three-fourths of them had earned their highest degree prior to 1970. \ 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). In comparing two Programs. if their confidence intervals do not overlap, one may safely conclude that there is a significant difference in their mean ratings at a .05 level of significance.5 From this figure it is also apparent that one should . _ 4 See Table 2.3 in Chapter TI. 5 See pp. 29-31 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.

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.
