Only one of the programs was initiated since 1970, and no two programs are located in the same university. In addition to the 58 institutions represented in this discipline, another 4 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: Georgetown University Middlebury College SUNY at Binghamton University of Rochester Data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 985 research doctorates in French language and literature were awarded by U.S.

To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 58 French programs (and are given 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. ssee Table 2.3 in Chapter II.

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.
