National Research
Council
Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs 2006
In 2006-2007, the University
of Pittsburgh
will be participating in the National Research Council (NRC) assessment
of research-doctorate programs. The NRC conducted its last assessment
of doctoral programs in 1995. The assessment will provide benchmarking
data on graduate programs throughout the United States and will
result in ratings of graduate program quality. The data will be
published in an online, searchable database available to the public.
The NRC assessment requires the collection of specific data from the
institution, academic programs, faculty members, and graduate students.
Data will be collected throughout 2006 through questionnaires developed
for each of these constituencies.
The NRC Listserv provides official responses to questions
from institutions participating in the study. Click here
for a list of questions and official responses posted to the listserv.

the official NRC website on the Assessment of Research-Doctoral
Programs.
