VII Physics Programs In this chapter 123 research-doctorate programs in physics are assessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by their universities, have accounted for 4,271 doctoral degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 87 percent of the aggregate number of physics doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five-year span. On the average, 56 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 28 members.2 The 123 programs, listed in Table 7.1, represent 122 different universities--only Stanford University has two physics programs included in the assessment. All but two of the programs were initiated prior to 1970. In addition to the 122 universities represented in this discipline, only one other institution--Purdue University--was initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment. Since no information was received (in response to the committee's request) on a physics program at this institution, it has not been included in the evaluations in this discipline. Before examining the individual program result=, presented in Table 7.1, the reader is urged to refer to Chapter II, in which each of the 16 measures used in the assessment is discussed. Summary statistics describing every measure are given in Table 7.2. For all but two of the measures, data are reported for at least 109 of the 123 physics programs. For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data are available for 83 programs; for measure 14, total university expenditures for research in this t Date from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 4,889 research doctorates in physics were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980. 2 See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 7.2. 3 As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was that a university had awarded at least 10 doctorates in physics during the FY1976-78 period. 117
118 discipline, data are available for 88 programs. The programs not evaluated on measures 12 and 14 are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate student enrollment--than other physics programs. Were data on measures 12 and 14 available for all 123 programs, it is likely that the reported means for these two measures 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 7.3. Of particular note are the high positive correlations of the measures of program size {01-03) with measures of publication records (15, 16), research expenditures (14), and reputational survey ratings (08, 09, and 11~. Figure 7.1 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 the 121 physics programs. Figure 7.2 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 and some of the larger programs received low mean ratings. Table 7.4 describes the 211 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of physics programs. These individuals constituted 57 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 6 percent of the faculty population in the 123 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.4 A majority of the survey participants specialized in elementary particles or solid state physics, and more than two-thirds held the rank of full professor. Approximately 85 percent had earned their highest degree prior to 1970. One exception should be noted with regard to the survey evaluations in this discipline. In the program listing on the survey form, New Mexico State University at Las Cruces was identified as being located in Alamogordo, which has a junior college branch of the same institution. Since a large majority of faculty evaluators indicated that they were unfamiliar with this program and it is quite possible that some of them were misled by the inaccurate identifica- tion of this institution, the committee has decided not to report the survey results for this program. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 121 physics programs (and are given in Table 7.1~. For each program the mean rating and an associated Confidence intervals of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in Figure 7.3 (listed in order of highest to lowest mean rating). In comparing two programs, if their confidence intervals do not overlap, one may safely conclude that there is a significant 4 See Table 2.3 in Chapter lI.
119 difference in their mean ratings at a .05 level of significance.5 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. 5 See pp. 29-31 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.
