Anthropology Programs
In this chapter 70 research-doctorate programs in anthropology are
assessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by
their universities, have accounted for 1,960 doctoral degrees awarded
during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 93 percent of the aggregate
number of anthropology and archaeology doctorates earned from U.S. uni-
versities in this five-year span. On the average, 51 full-time and
part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a pro-
gram in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 17 members.2
Nine programs were initiated since 1970, and no two programs are locat-
ed in the same university. All of the 70 institutions initially
identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment
in anthropology are represented here.
Before examining individual program results presented in Table 3.1,
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 3.2. For eight of the mea-
sures, data are reported for at least 64 of the 70 anthropology pro-
grams. For measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the
program graduates, data are presented for all but 10 of the programs;
the others had too few graduates on which to base statistics.4 For
measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data
data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 1,965
research doctorates in anthropology and 137 in archaeology were awarded
by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980.
2See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 3.2.
3As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was
that a university had awarded at least 9 doctorates in anthropology
during the FY1976-78 period.
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.

are available for 60 programs. The programs not evaluated on this
measure are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate
student enrollment--than other anthropology programs. Were data on
this measure available for all 70 programs, it is likely that the re-
ported mean would be appreciably lower (and that some of the correla-
tions of this measure with others would be higher). As mentioned in
the previous chapter, data on total university expenditures for re-
search (measure 14) are not available in anthropology. With respect
to the fraction of faculty with research grants from the Alcohol, Drug
Abuse, and Mental Health Administration, the National Institutes of
Health, or the National Science Foundation (measure 13) and the
fraction of faculty with at least one published article (measure 18),
data are reported for 59 anthropology programs.s
Intercorrelations among the 15 measures (Pearson product-moment co-
efficients) are given in Table 3.3. Of particular note are the high
positive correlations of the measures of program size (01-03) with rep-
utational survey ratings (08, 09) and the total number of 1978-80 ar-
ticles by program faculty (measure 17~. Figure 3.1 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 70 programs in anthropology. Figure 3.2 plots the mean rating of
program effectiveness (measure 09) against the total number of FY1976-
80 program graduates (measure 021. In both figures there is a signifi-
cant positive correlation between program size and reputational rating.
Table 3.4 describes the 125 faculty members who participated in the
evaluation of anthropology programs. These individuals constituted 60
percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and
11 percent of the faculty population in the 70 research-doctorate pro-
grams being evaluated.6 A majority of the survey participants were
cultural or physical anthropologists; 22 percent were archaeologists.
Two-thirds of these individuals had earned their highest degree prior
to 1970, and a majority 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 70 anthropology programs (and
are given in Table 3.1~. For each program the mean rating and an as-
sociated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated
in Figure 3.3 {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.7 From this figure it is also
5Data for measures 13 and 18 are not presented for any programs that
had fewer than 10 faculty members.

and associated confidence intervals.

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.
