The 2011 Professional Science Master’s Enrollment and Degrees Survey collects data on overall enrollment and degrees awarded in Professional Science Master’s (PSM) programs. It is the second such survey conducted by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) with a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

 

PSM program directors and graduate deans (or equivalent) representing 241 PSM programs from 111 institutions of higher education were invited to provide data regarding the number of applications received for admission for the fall term of 2011, the number of applications accepted for the fall term of 2011, the number of first-time enrollees for the fall term of 2011, the total number of enrollees for the fall term of 2011, and the number of degrees awarded during the 2010/11 academic year (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011). The survey generated 230 usable responses, for a 95% response rate. Of these, 212 reported students who were either enrolled in a PSM program in the fall term of 2011 or graduated from a PSM program during the 2010/11 academic year.

Data Buddies: Partnering for Comparison Data

June 20, 2012

The Computing Research Association’s Data Buddies project gathers data on undergraduate and graduate students from a sample of computing departments nationwide. Two waves of surveys so far have helped improve evaluation of several broadening participation programs by developing a comparison group of nonparticipating students; in addition, the responses are a rich source of data on students’ decisions about graduate school and research careers.

International Comparisons of Graduate Education

January 21, 2009

Data were presented showing how the United States compares internationally on metrics such as participation in and completion of doctoral programs and how international participation in higher education has changed over the past decade.

• Tom Snyder, National Center for Education Statistics (presentation not available)

Attrition in U.S. graduate programs is a tremendous waste of American's financial resources and human energies.

 

Increasing demand for workers with advanced training at the graduate level, an inadequate domestic talent pool, and a small representation of women and minority graduates at all education levels are among some growing concerns over workforce issues that relate to the vitality and competitiveness of the U.S. economy. Improving completion rates for all doctoral students, and particularly for those from underrepresented groups, is vital to meeting our nation's present and future workforce needs.

 

Minority Attrition and Completion in STEM Doctoral Programs

There is a general underrepresentation of minority students—particularly African American, American Indian, and Hispanic students—in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields at the graduate level. The problem of underrepresentation in doctoral education and the academic workforce is exacerbated by the fact that attrition rates from doctoral programs tend to be very high. The project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF grant #1138814, "Completion and Attrition in AGEP and non-AGEP institutions"), will examine patterns of completion and attrition among underrepresented minorities in STEM doctoral programs across 21 institutions.

 

Master's Completion Project

Master’s education is the fastest growing and largest part of the graduate education enterprise in the United States, yet we lack key information regarding master’s completion and attrition rates and factors contributing to student success. To begin to address that gap, CGS launched a project in November 2010 to study Completion and Attrition in STEM Master’s Programs.

 

Ph.D. Completion Project

The Ph.D. Completion Project was a seven-year, grant-funded project that addressed the issues surrounding Ph.D. completion and attrition. CGS, with generous support from Pfizer Inc. and the Ford Foundation, provided funding in two phases to 29 major U.S. and Canadian research universities to create intervention strategies and pilot projects and to evaluate the impact of these projects on doctoral completion rates and attrition patterns.

The CGS/NSF Workshop, "The Role and Status of the Master's Degree in STEM," convened on May 18, 2010 at the National Science Foundation and included approximately 88 attendees who broadly represented leaders in graduate education, and representatives of funding institutions, federal agencies, and disciplinary societies. The goals of the workshop were to:

 

• Offer an overview of the current role and status of the master's degree in STEM
• Encourage interdisciplinary dialogue as it concerned master's completion and attrition
• Provide updates regarding the CGS Professional Science Master's (PSM) Initiative and NSF Science Master's Program
• Gain information about the career outcomes for STEM master's degree recipients.

 

The workshop commenced with introductory remarks from CGS President, Debra Stewart, and the NSF Acting Assistant Director of the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, Joan Ferrini-Mundy. The keynote address entitled, "The Demand for STEM and Graduate Education through 2018," was delivered by noted economist, Tony Carnevale, who directs the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University. Each of the four workshop panels included experts from various sectors of graduate education and the STEM workforce.

 

Some of the key findings and recommendations for future inquiry will be summarized in a final draft of the CGS White Paper entitled, "Completion and Attrition in Master's Programs in STEM."
