Outcomes of doctoral education at a private, urban university were studied, and a questionnaire was developed. A total of 707 Ph.D. and Ed.D. recipients from 16 departments who had graduated between 1963 and 1984 were surveyed to determine: the impact of doctoral education on career development, the perceived influence of the institutional values on graduates, and the frequency and type of research or scholarly activities engaged in during and after graduate school. Data from the 168-item survey were analyzed by department, degree, and four general academic fields, and a number of indices were developed. The career development index included the following variables: relationship of degree to job and career, and postgraduate career path. Variables included in the institutional values index were: concern for ethical values, interest in religious beliefs, and influence of the university on personal values. Activities to indicate scholarship included: submitting grant proposals and articles for publication, receiving external funding for research, and delivering papers. The analysis includes comparisons for graduates in the fields of education, humanities, social sciences, and medical sciences. (SW)
