al Microbiology Programs In this chapter 134 research-doctorate programs in microbiology are assessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by their universities, have accounted for 2,058 doctoral degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 87 percent of the aggregate number of microbiology, immunology, parasitology, and bacteriology doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five-year span. On the average, 20 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 16 members .2 Most of the 134 programs, listed in Table 6.1, are located in departments of microbiology; a few are found in departments of biology, immunology, and other related fields. Eighteen programs were initiated since 1970. Each of eight institu- tions--Auburn University, University of California (San Francisco), University of Kansas, University of Maryland (Baltimore Professional School), University of Oklahoma, Pennsylvania State University, SUNY at Buffalo, and Tulane University--has two microbiology programs in- cluded in the assessment. Each of five other universities--University of California (Berkeley), University of Chicago, Ohio State University, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Pittsburgh--has three programs evaluated. In addition to the 116 institutions represented in this discipline, another 13 were initially identified as meeting the , criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: CUNY--Graduate School University of California--Santa Barbara data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 2,367 research doctorates in microbiology, immunology, parasitology, and bacteriology were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980. 2See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 6.2. Was mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was that a university had awarded at least 4 doctorates in microbiology during the FY1976-78 period. 99

100 University of Colorado Harvard University --~ Illinois Institute of Technology University of Utah--Salt Lake City Washington University--Saint Louis Medical College of Georgia University of Mississippi--Medical Center University of Oregon--Health Sciences Center Saint John's University University of Southwestern Louisiana University of Texas--Health Science Center, Dallas The last six institutions chose not to participate in the assessment in any discipline. Microbiology programs at the other seven institu- tions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordinator either indicated that the in- stitution did not at that time have a research-doctorate program in microbiology or failed to provide the information requested by the committee. Before examining individual program results presented in Table 6.1, 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 6.2. For nine of the mea- sures, data are reported for at least 116 of the 134 microbiology 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 For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data are available for 85 programs. With respect to measure 13, the fraction of faculty with research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, or the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration, data are re- ported for 102 programs that had at least 10 faculty members. For measure 14, total university expenditures for research in the biologi- cal sciences, data are available for 108 programs. The programs not evaluated on measures 12, 13, and 14 are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate student enrollment--than other microbiol- ogy programs. Were data on these three measures available for all 134 programs, it is likely that their reported means would be appreciably lower (and that some of the correlations of these measures with others would be higher). Intercorrelations among the 16 measures (Pearson product-moment coefficients) are given in Table 6.3. Of particular note are the high positive correlations of reputational survey ratings (08, 09) with measures of publication records (15, 16) and research expenditures 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.

101 (14~. Figure 6.1 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 131 programs in microbiology. Figure 6.2 plots the mean rating of program effectiveness (measure 09) against the total number of FY1976-80 program graduates (measure 021. 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. Table 6.4 describes the 231 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of microbiology programs. These individuals constituted 58 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 11 percent of the faculty population in the 134 research-doctorate pro- grams being evaluated.5 About half of the evaluators identified their specialty field as microbiology/bacteriology; others were split among immunology, molecular biology, and other biological sciences. Two-thirds of the survey participants had earned their highest degree prior to 1970, and exactly 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 of the scholarly quality of faculty in 131 microbiology programs {and are given in Table 6.11. For each program the mean rating and an as- sociated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in Figure 6.3 {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. s see Table 2.3 in Chapter II. 6 See pp. 31-33 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.
