AGEP Data Submission Overview: 1997-2006(Ok This News Isn’t So Good)

80 institutions submitted data.

67 submitted data on All Enrollees from 1997-2006 but only 31 submitted data on PhD enrollees.

62 submitted data on PhD Recipients from 1997-2005.

61 submitted data on New Enrollees from 1997-2006 but only 29 submitted data on new PhD enrollees.

18 submitted data on Advance to Candidacy from 1997-2006.

9 submitted data on post PhD plans of under-represented PhD recipients from 1997-2006.

Things We Need To Work On

• Increasing the number of institutions providing longitudinal data

• Finding out just how many of those 2,657 URM New Enrollees are in PhD programs

• Finding out just how many of those 11,105 URM Graduate Enrollees are in PhD programs

• Learning where UMR PhD recipients go.
