National Ranking of Number of Doctoral Recipients by Baccalaureate Institution for 2001-20106

  • University of the Sciences ranks in the top 16% of 1168 comparable institutions whose undergraduates have gone on to complete a Doctoral degree in the sciences

Notes

  1. Most recent headcount includes students enrolled in the Fall Semester as of 10/15/12
  2. Definition for undergraduate student FTE is: (Sum of part-time students/12) + (Sum of full time students)
    Definition for graduate student FTE is: (Sum of part-time students/9) + (Sum of full time students)
  3. Includes more than one degree for some students. In 2011-2012 the University began awarding BS degrees to after their fourth year to students who are enrolled in 5 and 6 year programs. This is the reason for the significant increase in degrees awarded as of 2011-2012.
  4. Definition for Faculty FTE is: (Sum of clock hours of part-time faculty/12) + (sum of full time faculty)
  5. Student/Faculty ratio = number of undergraduate students/faculty FTE. Off-campus faculty is excluded from this count.
  6. Source: NSF CASPAR Data base - number of doctoral recipients over ten years. All of the institutions included in the study are in one of the following Carnegie Classifications:
    • Master's (Comprehensive) Universities and Colleges I and II
    • Doctoral Universities I and II
    • Schools of Engineering and Technology
    • Other Separate Health Profession Schools
    • Baccalaureate (Liberal Arts) Colleges I and II
    • The NSF CASPAR data base includes institutions where at least one graduate has subsequently completed a doctoral degree in Medical, Chemistry, and/or Biological Sciences. Institutions where there were no recipients in any of the above categories were excluded from this study
