x Philosophy Programs In this chapter 77 research-doctorate programs in philosophy are assessed. These programs, according to the information supplied by their universities, have accounted for 1,395 doctoral degrees awarded during the FY1976-80 period--approximately 91 percent of the aggregate number of philosophy doctorates earned from U.S. universities in this five-year span. On the average, 29 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December i980, with an average faculty size of 14 members. 2 Only three of the programs were initiated since 1970; and only the University of Pittsburgh had more than one program included in the assessment in this discipline. In addition to the 76 institutions represented in this discipline, another 7 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: Brandeis University New York University Rockefeller University Southern Baptist Theological Seminary--Kentucky SUNY at Binghamton Duquesne University U.S. International University The latter two institutions chose not to participate in the assessment in any discipline. Philosophy programs at the other five institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in Data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 1,531 research doctorates in philosophy were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980. 2 See the reported means for measures 03 and 01 in Table 10.2. 3 As mentioned in Chapter I, the primary criterion for inclusion was that a university had awarded at least 6 doctorates in philosophy during the FY1976-78 period. 145
146 case Add. each case the study coordinator either indicated that the institution did not at that time have a research-doctorate program in philosophy or failed to provide the information requested by the committee. Before examining individual program results presented in Table 10.1, the reader is urged to refer to Chapter II, in which each of the 12 measures used in the assessment is discussed. Summary statistics describing every measure are given in Table 10.2. For seven of the measures, data are reported for at least 76 of the 77 philosophy programs. For measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the program graduates, data are presented for approximately three-fourths of the programs; the other fourth had too few graduates on which to =-~^ by-" ~" -a 4 For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data are available for 64 programs. The programs not evaluated on measure 12 are typically smaller--in terms of faculty size and graduate student enrollment--than other philosophy programs. Were data on this measure available for all 77 programs, it is likely that the reported mean would be appreciably lower (and that some of the correlations of this measure with others would be higher). Intercorrelations among the 12 measures (Pearson product-moment coefficients) are given in Table 10.3. Of particular note are the high positive correlations of the fraction of program graduates intend- ing to take positions in Ph.D.-granting institutions (measure 07) with reputational survey ratings (08, 09~. Figure 10.1 illustrates the relation between the mean rating of the scholarly quality of faculty (measure 08) and the number of faculty members (measure 01) for each of 77 programs in philosophy. Figure 10.2 plots the mean rating of program effectiveness (measure 09) against the total number of FY1976-80 program graduates (measure 02~. Although in both figures there is a significant positive correlation between program size and reputational rating, it is quite apparent that some of the smaller programs received high mean ratings and that some of the larger programs received low mean ratings. Table 10.4 describes the 157 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of philosophy programs. These individuals constituted 68 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 14 percent of the faculty population in the 77 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.5 Approximately one-fourth of the survey participants had earned their highest degree since 1970, and a majority were full professors. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evalua- tions, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 77 philosophy programs (and are given in Table 10.1~. For each program the mean rating and an associ- ated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in . _ . 4As mentioned in Chapter II, data for measures 04-07 are not reported if they are based on the survey responses of fewer than 10 FY1975-79 program graduates. s see Table 2.3 in Chapter II.
147 Figure 10.3 (listed in order of highest to lowest mean rating). In comparing two programs, if their confidence intervals do not overlap, one may conclude that there is a significant difference in their mean ratings at a .05 level of significance.6 From this figure it is also apparent that one should have somewhat more confidence in the accuracy of the mean ratings of higher-rated programs than lower-rated programs. 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. 6 See pp. 28-30 for a discussion of the interpretation of mean ratings and associated confidence intervals.
