Phase I Data
The Strategic Intervention for Doctoral Completion research team will be collecting the four following types of data– Summary Benchmarks, Detailed Completion Data by Program, Program Practices, and Self-assessments.
- Detailed Completion Data by Program
The Detailed Completion Data consists of 10 years (1992-2002) of doctoral completion data by Department and by field (i.e., Aggregate data). - Summary Benchmarks
The Summary Benchmarks include completion rate and time-to-degree for each program. Both the 10 year (1992-2002) and 3 year (1992-1995) benchmarks were included. - Program Practices Data
The Program Practices Data includes each participating program’s response to questions about communication with potential doctoral students, admissions, orientation/advisement, and social interactions. - Program Self-Assessments
Each participating program completed a self-assessment that includes their goals relating to increasing doctoral completion.
