Foster, Penny D.; And Others
This is the third annual survey of total graduate and postdoctoral enrollment in science and engineering in the United States. Data elements collected from 7,505 departments of 355 Ph.D.-granting institutions include: enrollment status (full and part-time); level of study (first year and beyond first year); citizenship; sex of students; type institution (public or private); and distribution among areas and fields of engineering and science. Data trends are reported for the period 1967-1974. Findings include: science enrollment in graduate programs increased 6% between 1973 and 1974; every science area, except mathematics, showed an expansion; full-time students holding assistantships rose 4%; students receiving Federal support declined 3%; female enrollment in full-time graduate science programs increased 13%; and full-time foreign student enrollment declined 3%. Detailed statistical tables are included. (SL)
