1 PhD Completion and Attrition Data at NC State: What the Graduate School can do for you Rebeca C. Rufty and Dawn Henderson November 9, 2010

2 Have we got a problem here?

3 Preamble Improvement of doctoral completion does not represent a lowering of academic standards Attrition good or bad? Data should be used constructively How can we improve?

4 New Challenges New career opportunities for Ph.D. s outside academia Interdisciplinarity Shrinking public investment Increased accountability (scientific misconduct)

5 New Paradigm From solitary scholarship towards collaboration Integration of research/teaching/service In-depth specialization with breadth of preparation (transferable skills needed) Connect academic work with larger social context Ethics, respect, responsibility

17 Factors affecting a student s ability to complete the Ph.D. degree at NC State (completers vs. non-completers) Other Personal circumstances Professional/Career guidance Non-Completers Completers Program quality Program requirements Social environment/peer group support Family (non-financial) support Mentoring/advising Financial support

18 What the Graduate School can do for you Teach transferable skills (PFL) Aid programs in defining and monitoring expectations (explicit vs implicit) Providing data Assist programs by providing mentoring skills to graduate faculty Dissertation fellowships

19 What programs can do: Create vibrant intellectual community (open exchange of ideas) Encourage creativity and entrepreneurship Develop stewards of academic discipline Create participatory governance Model respect and ethical behavior Create set of best practices

20 What programs can do: Move from apprenticeship model towards a more interactive and participatory model Make connections between research, What programs can do: teaching and service Encourage social interactions If students are ill suited for PhD, intervene and if need be, terminate early

21 SUMMARY NC State s average PhD completion rate is very close to national mean We need to improve completion in some programs Most important factors affecting completion are funding, mentoring and socialization of students We want to partner with you

23 THE END

24 Philosophical principles Improvement of doctoral completion does not represent a lowering of academic standards. Our intellectual capital needs to be fostered in an environment of respect and highest level of integrity. It s too expensive and abhorrent not to do so.

25 Best Practices Truth in advertising Selective admissions Assign mentors to students immediately upon matriculation Study patterns of completion in individual program data driven Discuss effective mentoring practices with graduate faculty

26 Best Practices Encourage social interaction among students and faculty Provide opportunities for students to acquire professional or transferable skills Preparing Future Leaders (PFL) Integrate students into discipline Explicit vs implicit expectations Track progress of students milestones

27 Best Practices Enforce annual progress reports Prepare students for myriad of careers Act early if student is failing, consider intervention and even termination Dissertation support groups Partner with Graduate School in acquisition of data, assessment practices, etc.
