vm 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. 145
146 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. - ssee Table 2.3 in Chapter II.
147 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. - 6 See pp. 31-33 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.
