In addition to the 49 institutions represented in this discipline, another 3 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: Arizona State University -- Tempe Oklahoma State University -- Stillwater University of Pennsylvania . Geography programs at these three institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordinator either indicated that the institution did not at that time have a research-doctorate program in geography or failed to provide the information requested by the committee.

More than three-fifths of the survey participants 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 evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 49 geography programs (and are given in Table 5.1~.

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.
