In addition to the 69 institutions represented in this discipline, another 3 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: Case Western Reserve University Middlebury College Saint Louis University Spanish programs at these three institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study iData from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 933 research doctorates in Spanish and Portuguese language and literature were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980.

From page 164... ... 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 11.4 describes the 136 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of Spanish language and literature programs. Read the entire page →
From page 165... ... 165 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.
