Spanish language and
Literature Programs
In this chapter 69 research-doctorate programs in Spanish language
and literature are assessed. These programs, according to the informa-
tion supplied by their universities, have accounted for 812 doctoral
degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 87 percent
of the aggregate number of Spanish and Portuguese language and litera-
ture doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five-year span.)
With respect to this percentage it should be pointed out that five of
the university coordinators providing program information to the commit-
tee were unable to determine how many of the recent graduates from the
departments of romance languages or modern languages were degree recip-
ients in Spanish. Data for these five programs are not included in the
above estimate. On the average, 24 full-time and part-time students
intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December
1980, with an average faculty size of 10 members.2 Almost half of the
69 programs, listed in Table 11.1, are located in Spanish or Spanish and
Portuguese departments. The other programs are found in departments of
romance languages, modern languages, or other foreign languages. Only
four of the programs were initiated since 1970, and no two programs are
located in the same university. In addition to the 69 institutions
represented in this discipline, another 3 were initially identified as
meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment:
Case Western Reserve University
Middlebury College
Saint Louis University
Spanish programs at these three institutions have not been included in
the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study
iData from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 933
research doctorates in Spanish and Portuguese language and literature
were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980.
2 See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 11.2.
3As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was
that a university had awarded at least 5 doctorates in Spanish during
the FY1976-78 period.

coordinator either indicated that the institution did not at that time
have a research-doctorate program in Spanish or failed to provide the
information requested by the committee.
Before examining individual program results presented in Table
11.1, the reader is urged to refer to Chapter TI, in which each of the
12 measures used in the assessment is discussed. Summary statistics
describing every measure are given in Table 11.2. For eight of the
measures, data are reported for at least 63 of the 69 Spanish pro-
grams. For measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the
program graduates, data are presented for only approximately half of
the programs; the other half had too few graduates on which to base
statistics. 4
Intercorrelations among the 12 measures (Pearson product-moment
coefficients) are given in Table 11.3. Of particular note are the
high positive correlations of the measures of library size (12) with
reputational survey ratings (08, 09~. Figure 11.1 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 69 programs in Spanish. Figure 11.2 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 pro-
grams received low mean ratings.
Table 11.4 describes the 136 faculty members who participated in
the evaluation of Spanish language and literature programs. These
individuals constituted 66 percent of those asked to respond to the
survey in this discipline and 20 percent of the faculty population in
the 69 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.5 Approximately
one-third of the survey participants had earned their highest degree
since 1970, and a majority were full professors.
To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evalua-
tions, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings
of the scholarly quality of faculty in 69 Spanish programs (and are
given in Table 11.11. For each program the mean rating and an associ-
ated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in
Figure 11.3 (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.6 From this figure it is
4As mentioned in Chapter II, data for measures 04-07 are not reported
if they are based on the survey responses of fewer than 10 FY1975-79
program graduates.

and associated confidence intervals.

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.
