On women's Ph.D. completion* |
| It is noteworthy that doctoral productivity for women graduates of Earlham has almost doubled since the 1971-80 period, from 67th in 1971-80 to 39th in 1991-2000. This finding reflects not only the changes within higher education and American society during this period, but also Earlham's continuing commitment to improving the role of women. |
On general Ph.D. completion* |
Between 1966 and 2000, nearly 11 percent of Earlham College graduates completed doctoral degrees. Between 1991 and 2000, nearly 13 percent of Earlham College graduates completed doctoral degrees. An Earlham education enhances intellectual growth. Alumni rate contact with Earlham faculty, the quality of teaching and the courses in their majors highly. Earlham alumni have reported for many years that their alma mater prepared them well for post-baccalaureate education. In fact, Earlham is ranked 26th among 1,302 institutions of higher learning in the U.S. in the percentage of graduates who go on to receive Ph.D.s.* This fact, which compares doctoral degree completions by Earlham graduates with those of graduates of larger, research universities as well as those of other baccalaureate institutions, strongly demonstrates the quality of the teaching/learning experience at Earlham. Earlham is one of the top three liberal arts colleges in the Great Lakes Colleges Association in overall production of doctoral degrees by alumni. |
