Source: Data are drawn from Sanderson, A., and Dugoni, B. (1999). Summary report 1997: Doctorate recipients from United States universities.
Chicago: National Opinion Research Center.
Note: These data reflect doctoral degrees in psychology and those granted in educational and school psychology in departments of education. "Other" includes non-U.S. citizens with temporary visas and "unknown race" categories. "Total" includes individuals who did not report citizenship at time of doctorate so it is larger than the ethnic-minority categories and "other" category combined.
