Racial and Ethnic Diversity among U.S.- Educated Science, Engineering, and Health Doctorate Recipients: Methods of Reporting Diversity. Info Brief, NSF 12-304

摘要

This InfoBrief describes two common methods for tabulating race and ethnicity and uses these methods to present the racial diversity and the Hispanic or Latino origins of the science, engineering, and health (SEH) doctoral population. In this report, the SEH doctoral population comprises individuals in the United States who hold a research doctorate from a U.S. academic institution in an SEH field. In 2008, 98.8% of the estimated 752,000 members of this population reported being a single race, and 1.2% reported being two or more races.
