Music Programs In this chapter 53 research-doctorate programs in music are assessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by their universities, have accounted for 1,385 doctoral degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 71 percent of the aggregate number of music doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five- year span. The study committee has serious concerns about the completeness and accuracy of the program coverage in this discipline. In the instructions to the coordinators they were asked to provide faculty lists and other information for research-doctorate programs in "musicology." This instruction was in error since the committee intended to include all areas of research training in music. Some institutional coordinators furnished faculty lists and other infor- mation on only the musicology component of music programs, while some coordinators included other areas as well {e.g., theory and composi- tion). Also of concern is the fact that several of the faculty lists provided apparently include performers who had little or no involve- ment in research. Furthermore, at least 1 of the 53 programs eval- uated does not offer a research doctorate in any area of music, although those earning doctorates of musical arts at this institution do receive some research training. The committee seriously considered not reporting the results of its assessment of programs in this discipline (as suggested by a few survey evaluators), but decided that in view of the effort made by both the survey respondents and the program coordinators the results should be reported, along with a full explanation of the problems encountered. On the average, 42 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 20 members.2 Only three of the programs were initiated since 1970, and no two programs are located in the . data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 1,946 research doctorates in music were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980. 2 See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 9.2. 129

130 same university. In addition to the 53 institutions represented in this discipline, another 6 were initially identified as meeting the criter ia3 for inclusion in the assessment: University of Arizona--Tucson Cleveland Institute of Music Harvard University University of Mississippi--Oxford University of Northern Colorado--Greeley Southern Baptist Theological Seminary--Kentucky Music programs at these six institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordi- nator either indicated that the institution did not at that time have a research-doctorate program in music or failed to provide the informa- tion requested by the committee. Before examining individual program results presented in Table 9.1, the reader is urged to refer to Chapter II, in which each of the 12 measures used in the assessment is discussed. Summary statistics describing every measure are given in Table 9.2. For all but one of the measures, data are reported for at least 48 of the 53 music pro- grams. For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data are available for 41 programs. The programs not evalu- ated on measure 12 are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate student enrollment--than other music programs. Were data on this measure available for all 53 programs, it is likely that the re- ported mean would be appreciably lower {and that some of the correla- tions of this measure with others would be higher). Intercorrelations among the 12 measures {Pearson product-moment coefficients) are given in Table 9.3. Of particular note are the high positive correlations of university library size (12) with reputational survey ratings (08, 091. The correlations of the measures of program size {01-03) with reputational survey ratings (08, 09) are much lower than the corresponding correlations in other disciplines. Figure 9.1 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 53 programs in music. Figure 9.2 plots the mean rating of program effectiveness (measure 09) against the total number of FY1976-80 program graduates (measure 02~. The lack of a strong relationship between measures is quite apparent in both figures. Table 9.4 describes the 69 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of music programs. These individuals constituted only 43 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 6 percent of the faculty population in the 53 research-doctorate 3 As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was that a university had awarded at least 9 doctorates in music during the FY1976-78 period.

131 programs being evaluated.4 Approximately half of the survey partic- ipants were musicologists, and another 19 percent {13 individuals) specialized in music theory and composition. The remainder {21 individuals) may include some faculty members who had little or no involvement in research training, but the exact number of such individuals is not known. More than one-third of the survey partic- ipants had earned their highest degree since 1970, and almost half held the rank of full professor. Two exceptions should be mentioned with regard to the survey evaluations in this discipline. First, it should be noted that the program at the Eastman School of Music was identified on the survey form as "University of Rochester--Music." Also, the program at the Julliard School of Music does not conform with a typical research- doctorate program in that it is specifically intended for "those students showing greatest promise for a major career as performing artists," but it does involve seminars dealing with a "scholarly approach to the study of music." In addition to these two exceptions, as has been noted earlier, several of the faculty lists included the names of performance teachers who were not involved in the research aspects of a program. In reporting the results in this discipline, the committee wishes to emphasize these deficiencies and the likeli- hood that they may have influenced the reputational ratings as well as other program measures. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey eval- uations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 53 music programs (and are given in Table 9.1~. For each program the mean rating and an associ- ated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in Figure 9.3 (listed in order of highest to lowest mean rating). In comparing two programs, if their confidence intervals do not overlap, one may 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. 4 See Table 2.3 in Chapter II. s see pp. 28-30 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.
