v English Language arid Literature Programs In this chapter 106 research-doctorate programs in English language and literature are assessed. These programs, according to the informa- tion supplied by their universities, have accounted for 4,687 doctoral degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 90 percent of the aggregate number of English and American language and literature doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five-year span. On the average, 62 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 31 members.2 Only three of the programs were initi- ated since 1970, and no two programs are located in the same univer- sity. In addition to the 106 institutions represented in this disci- pline, another 5 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: University of Detroit Idaho State University--Pocatello Middle Tennessee State University SUNY at Albany Saint John's University The last institution chose not to participate in the assessment in any discipline. English programs at the other four institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordinator either indicated that the institution did data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 4,096 research doctorates in English language and literature and 1,087 research doctorates in American 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 5.2. 3As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was that a university had awarded at least 13 doctorates in English during the FY1976-78 period. 61
62 not at that time have a research-doctorate program in English or failed to provide the information requested by the committee. Before examining individual program results presented in Table 5.1, 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 5.2. For 11 of the mea- sures, data are reported for at least 103 of the 106 English programs. For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data are available for 75 programs. The programs not evaluated on measure 12 are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and gradu- ate student enrollment--than other English programs. Were data on this measure available for all 106 programs, it is likely that the reported mean would be appreciably lower (and that some of the corre- lations of this measure with others would be higher). Intercorrelations among the 12 measures (Pearson product-moment coefficients) are given in Table S.3. Of particular note are the high positive correlations of the measures of numbers of recent pro- gram graduates (02) and library index (12) with reputational survey ratings (08, 09~. Figure 5.1 illustrates the relation between the mean rating of the scholarly quality ~ ~ ^^ ~ or Faculty "measure us) and the number of faculty members (measure 01) for each of 106 programs in English. Figure 5.2 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 posi- tive 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 5.4 describes the 198 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of English programs. These individuals constituted 62 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 6 percent of the faculty population in the 106 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.4 More than two-thirds of the survey par- ticipants had earned their highest degree before 1970, and a majority held the rank of full professor. One exception should be noted with regard to the survey evalua- tions in this discipline. It has been called to the attention of the committee that the University of Chicago program in the department of ~ - - - ~ ~~ ~ ~~ The committee nap u~claea no reporc fine survey results for Ones program but cautions that the reputational ratings may have been influenced by the use of an inaccurate department title. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evalu- ations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 106 English programs (and are given in Table 5.1~. For each program the mean rating and an associ- English was labeled "Humanities" on the survey form. . ~ . . . . . . . 4 See Table 2.3 in Chapter II.
63 ated Confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in Figure 5.3 (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.S 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. s see pp. 28-30 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.
