The Path to the Ph.D.: Measuring Graduate Attrition in the Sciences and Humanities by Ad Hoc Panel on Graduate Attrition Advisory Committee, Board on Higher Education and Workforce, Office of Scientific and Engineering Personnel, Policy and Global Affairs, National Research Council (Paperback, 1997)
There is a growing concern among educators and policymakers about the level of attrition from Ph.D. programs in the sciences and humanities at some U.S. universities. Reliable estimates of graduate student attrition are difficult to obtain, however, because most information comes from the administrative records of individual institutions. This book provides a summary of datasets that could be used to analyze patterns of graduate student attrition and degree completion nationally, along with an analysis of recent studies on the subject. Based on this information, the committee examines the feasibility of designing a system to produce national estimates of graduate student attrition.
