Abstract

This year, the survey questionnaire was sent to 361 organizations. Questionnaires were returned by 174 (48.2 percent) for a response rate that was lower than the 1999-00 survey response rate of 52.5 percent. Of this year's responses, 122 (70.1 percent) were from those who responded to last year's survey; 52 (29.9 percent) came from new respondents. Among the academic institutions responding, the highest degree offered was: Ph.D.- 44.3 percent; Master - 13.2 percent; Bachelor- 34.5 percent. The remaining 6.9 percent did not indicate their highest degree offered. Two of the responders were non-academic organizations. The responses are reported for all respondents (including non-academic institutions and schools that did not report "highest degree offered"), and separately for Ph.D. degree-granting institutions and for schools whose highest degree offered is the Bachelor or Master degree. Data for institutions in the National Research Council's Research Doctorate Report, 1995, are reported as a subset of Ph.D. degree-granting schools. They are referred to as the Top 30.
