Doctoral Education: The Short-Term Crisis vs. Long-Term Challenge.
Geiger, Roger
Review of Higher Education, v20 n3 p239-51 Spr 1997
Discussion of doctoral education looks at current trends in demand and supply; previous patterns in the nationality of doctoral degree recipients (1985-94); expansion and contraction in master's and doctoral degrees awarded, by discipline group (1976-93); and structural features of doctoral education (competition, departmental control, student financial aid). A strategy for expanding graduate education is proposed. (MSE)
