Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineeering: Fall 2005. Detailed Statistical Tables

摘要

Data presented here are derived from the fall 2005 National Science Foundation-National Institutes of Health Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering. Unless otherwise specified, the published data represent estimates of total enrollment in science, engineering, and health-related programs in 12,396 graduate departments at 588 institutions in the United States and outlying areas. Collection of graduate enrollment and postdoctoral employment data began in 1966. Given the need to remain relevant to the needs of those who use the resulting data, the survey has been modified since its inception. These modifications include changes in coverage of institutions and fields, definitions, and the kinds of demographic data collected.
