Based on 354 doctoral programs that submitted Annual Reports for 2003-2004.

Please note that in some instances, programs did not complete every item on the online Annual Report and data were missing. In those instances, responses from those programs were not included in the calculations. For each item, “N” denotes the total number of the programs who responded to the item and whose responses were then used in calculating the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation for that item.

a Multiple modes exist. The smallest value is shown.
bPlease note Table 2.3, which indicates that the majority of programs (221 of 354) reported 0-25% ethnic minorities.
cPlease note Table 2.2, which indicates that approximately one-third of the programs (117 of 352) reported no students dropping out in 2003-2004.
