From page 35... ... Fourteen programs were initiated since 1970, and each of 10 universities -- Boston University, University of California {San Diego) , Harvard University, University of Kansas, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, University of Pittsburgh, SUNY at Buffalo, West Virginia University, and University of Wisconsin (Madison) Read the entire page →
From page 36... ... For measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the program graduates, data are presented for only approximately two-thirds of the programs; the other third 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 88 programs; for measure 14, the total university expenditures for research in the biological sciences, data are available for 104 programs. The programs not evaluated on measures 12 and 14 are typically smaller -- in terms of faculty size and graduate student enrollment -- than other biochemistry programs. Read the entire page →
From page 37... ... 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 that some of the larger programs received low mean ratings. Table 3.4 describes the 234 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of biochemistry programs. Read the entire page →
