From page 79... ... On the average, 34 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 26 members.2 Roughly half of the 89 programs, listed in Table 5.1' are located in departments of biology or biological sciences and one-fourth in departments of cellular or molecular biology. The remainder are in departments of anatomy, genetics, and other biological sciences. Read the entire page →
From page 80... ... For eight of the measures, data are reported for at least 77 of the 89 cellular/molecular biology programs. 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 63 programs; for measure 14, the total university expenditures for research in the biological sciences, data are available for 67 programs.

From page 81... ... 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 identification 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 86 cellular/molecular biology programs (and are given in Table 5.1~.
