The National Research Council (NRC) is the operating arm of the National Academies of Sciences, of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. One of its responsibilities is to organize studies of doctoral education.
On Tuesday, September 28, 2010, the NRC released its most recent study on doctoral programs. The Office of Institutional Research has organized data about the NYU programs evaluated in the study below. We hope you find it helpful and easily understandable.
The drive for academic excellence is a continuous undertaking at NYU, and the NRC study should provide ample basis for thoughtful discussions within the NYU community.
The NRC has provided a useful overview of the goals, methodology, and outcomes of this study.
If you wish to review data in greater depth, the NRC has made extensive data from its study publicly available. To view the data, and associated tutorials, click here
