Note: A total of 92.5 percent of your institution's doctorate recipients responded to the Survey of Earned Doctorates in 2013;
nationwide, 91.8 percent of doctorate recipients responded to the SED.
S&E = science and engineering; -- = data not available; † = See http://classifications.carnegiefoundation.org/ for information about 2010 Carnegie
classifications.
a

American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, black or African American, and white are single race who are not Hispanic; Hispanic or Latino may be of any race.
Other race or race not reported category includes Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and doctorate recipients who are not Hispanic or Latino and did not
indicate their race.
NOTES: S&E includes physical science/mathematics, engineering, life sciences, and social sciences. Non S&E includes humanities, education and other
professional fields. Salary ranges include only doctorate recipients reporting definite postgraduation plans who responded to salary. Research assistantships
funded by the federal government are counted as university support. Except for those reported for the sex variable, all percentages are based on total
responses with missing data excluded. Percentage totals may not sum to 100 because of rounding. Percents calculated based on a small number of cases
should be interpreted with caution.
