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.

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

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.
