The National Research Council Graduate Program Ratings: What Are They Measuring?
Toutkoushian, Robert K.; Dundar, Halil; Becker, William E.
Review of Higher Education, v21 n4 p427-43 Sum 1998
A study analyzed factors affecting peer assessments of faculty quality and program effectiveness using the 1993 National Research Council graduate program survey. Results indicate determinants for faculty quality and program effectiveness are very similar. Further, programs in private institutions and/or institutions with more highly rated programs have higher ratings. Although program reputations evolve slowly, programmatic changes can influence them.
