Improving graduate education has been the subject of much discussion in recent years. We wanted to know how implementation of recommended changes was coming along, so we asked the people to whom the improvements matter most: graduate students. Between March and August of 2000, over 32,000 students and recent Ph.D.'s responded to our survey on educational practices in doctoral programs.

You can rank programs based on student assessments of their educational practices and on student satisfaction, view program reports on the 1300 programs from which we received at least 10 responses, and view overall results for each discipline.
