Results of the Office of Education's Bureau of Higher and Continuing Education's inspection of Howard University's Graduate School and the Ph.D. program are presented. The inspection was performed by conducting a survey of the administrative staff, the faculty, and student body, and by examining relevant facilities, laboratories, equipment, documents, reports and libraries. The 11 Ph.D. programs reviewed were: African studies and research programs, history, political science, sociology, English, mathematics, physics and astronomy, chemistry, zoology, physiology and biophysics, and pharmacology. Despite improvements in the programs, it is concluded that there still exists uneven support services, a need in several departments for additional senior faculty, a lack of sufficient student financial aid, a need to better develop the library, a need for additional modern equipment for the bio-sciences, and a need to give the Graduate School more authority in all phases of the admissions process.
