... In addition to the 106 institutions represented in this discipline, another 5 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: University of Detroit Idaho State University -- Pocatello Middle Tennessee State University SUNY at Albany Saint John's University The last institution chose not to participate in the assessment in any discipline. English programs at the other four institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordinator either indicated that the institution did data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 4,096 research doctorates in English language and literature and 1,087 research doctorates in American language and literature were awarded by U.S.

... 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.
