From page 59... ... Four programs were initiated since 1970. Each of 11 institutions -- Clemson University, University of Georgia, University of Illinois, Iowa State University, University of Missouri, North Carolina State University, Ohio State University, Oklahoma State University, Pennsylvania State University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and University of Wisconsin (Madison) Read the entire page →
From page 60... ... 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 68 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 reported for 45 programs that had at least 10 faculty members; for measure 14, the total university expenditures for research in the biological sciences, data are available for 69 programs.

From page 61... ... 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 83 botany programs (and are given in Table 4.11. For each program the mean rating and an associated "confidence interval" of 1.S standard errors are illustrated in Figure 4.3 (listed in order of highest to lowest mean rating) Read the entire page →
