WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS Record Vol. 20 No. 5 Sept. 21, 1995 Doctoral programs show improvement in NRC rankings In the rankings released last week by the National Research Council (NRC), "doctoral programs at Wash- ington University made significant strides over the previous rankings con- ducted in 1982," according to Robert Thach, dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Altogether, eight doctoral programs at Washington Uni- versity earned top-10 honors, and five other programs were ranked in the top 25 in one or more of 10 different NRC categories. Among the highlights in the NRC study are top-10 rankings for faculty reputation in German Language and Literature at seventh, Neurosciences at eighth, and Cell and Developmental Biology ranked ninth. Seven Washington University pro- gram areas received top-10 recognition either for the total number of scholarly journal citations, or the total number of scholarly journal citations per faculty member. These may be viewed as two slightly different measures of a program's impact on its field. In one or Lonnie Haefner, Ph.D., professor of civil engineering, discusses highway maps with graduate students Luis Porrello (left) the other version of this measure of and Ming-Shiun Li. citations, both History and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ranked third in the nation.
