Zoology Programs
In this chapter 70 research-doctorate programs in zoology are as-
sessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by their
universities, have accounted for 1,753 doctoral degrees awarded during
the FY1976-80 period. On the average, 33 full-time and part-time
students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in
December 1980, with an average faculty size of 21 members .2 Most of
the 70 programs, listed in Table 8.1, are located in departments of
zoology. Approximately one-third are found in departments of biology
or biological sciences. Four programs were initiated since 1970, and
only one institution--Utah State University--had two zoology programs
included in the assessment. In addition to the 69 institutions repre-
sented in this discipline, another 8 were initially identified as meet-
ing the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment:
CUNY--Graduate School
University of California--Santa Barbara
Florida State University--Tallahassee
Illinois Institute of Technology
l~linois--Urbana-Champaign
University of ~~.
University of Kansas
University of Mich~gan--Ann Arbor
Tulane University
Zoology programs at these eight institutions have not been included in
data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 1,219
research doctorates in zoology were awarded by U.S. universities be-
tween FY1976 and FY1980. Since the NRC figure is based on field of
degree and not department, it may exclude some doctorates included in
the numbers reported by the institutional coordinators.
2 See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 8.2.
3 As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was
that a university had awarded 8 or more doctorates in zoology during
the FY1976-78 period.

the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coor-
dinator either indicated that the institution did not at that time have
a research-doctorate program in zoology or failed to provide the in-
formation requested by the committee.
Before examining individual program results presented in Table 8.1,
the reader is urged to refer to Chapter II, in which each of the 16
measures used in the assessment is discussed. Summary statistics de-
scribing every measure are given in Table 8.2. For 10 of the measures,
data are reported for at least 66 of the 70 zoology programs. For
measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the program gradu-
ates, data are presented for approximately four-fifths of the programs;
the other fifth had too few graduates on which to base statistics.4
For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library,
data are available for 49 programs; for measure 14, the total univer-
sity expenditures for research in the biological sciences, data are
available for 44 programs. The programs not evaluated on measures 12
and 14 are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate
student enrollment--than other zoology programs. Were data on these
two measures available for all 70 programs, it is likely that their
reported means would be appreciably lower (and that some of the corre-
lations of these measures with others would be higher).
Intercorrelations among the 16 measures (Pearson product-moment
coefficients) are given in Table 8.3. Of particular note are the high
positive correlations of reputational survey ratings (08, 09) with
measures of research support (13, 14), publication records (15, 16),
and number of program faculty members (02~. Figure 8.1 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 zoology. Figure 8.2 plots the mean rating of program
effectiveness (measure 09) against the total number of FY1976-80 pro-
gram graduates (measure 02~. At though in both figures there is a sig-
nificant 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 8.4 describes the 123 faculty members who participated in the
evaluation of zoology programs. These individuals constituted 59 per-
cent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 8
percent of the faculty population in the 70 research-doctorate programs
being evaluated.5 A majority of the survey participants had earned
their highest degree prior to 1970, and almost half held the rank of
full professor.
To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evalua-
tions, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings
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. -

of the scholarly quality of faculty in 69 zoology programs (and are
given in Table 8.1). For each program the mean rating and ah associ
ated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in
Figure 8.3 (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 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.

and associated confidence intervals.
