Graduate Quarterly, Spring 2000 1 message from the dean

Dear Graduate Student, Graduate Division For the past 50 years or more, American universities have enjoyed an international reputation for excellence in graduate education. This success Dean’s Office may have led to some complacency and the assumption that our practices Claudia Mitchell-Kernan and styles of doctoral education are optimal and require little or no revision. Vice Chancellor Graduate Studies During the past decade, however, the graduate education community has Dean, Graduate Division begun to express concern about a number of important issues in doctoral education. These include: lengthening time to degree, attrition rates, the Jim Turner narrowness of curricula, a failure to accommodate training to the career Assistant Vice Chancellor options available to graduates, the level and type of financial support

Phillip Channing Robin Fisher, Associate Dean provided, and other issues. One reflection of these concerns is a 1990 report by the Association of Graduate Schools (AGS) entitled Institutional Policies to Improve Doctoral Shirley Hune, Associate Dean Education. This report contained a number of specific recommendations and was motivated, in part, Graduate Programs by the projection of a significant shortage of PhDs, particularly in science and engineering. Kathleen Komar, Associate Dean A few years after the AGS report, a variety of new reports began to appear suggesting that there was overproduction of PhDs in many disciplines. These reports attracted significant attention by the Glen Winans, Assistant Dean media, which often provided illustrative stories of physicists driving taxi cabs and philosophers Administration flipping hamburgers. General questions regarding optimal PhD production in varying disciplines, and the extent to which job market conditions should be a major factor in enrollment planning, have Academic Support and not yet been fully addressed or resolved. Information Services Perhaps the only consensus emerging from the ensuing debate is that most projections regarding Jim Turner/Lynn Roych the academic job market over the past 30+ years have not proven accurate, that the available data on Interim Directors doctoral placement is inadequate, and that academic institutions should develop more systematic procedures for tracking the employment aspirations and outcomes of their doctoral degree recipients. Information Technology In 1994, the UCLA Graduate Division began efforts to establish a comprehensive database on Carol King, Director the initial employment status of all our doctoral recipients (i.e., one year after degree completion). This issue of the Graduate Quarterly is a preliminary effort to begin informing current graduate students Graduate Admissions / about the employment experiences and options of their colleagues who have recently completed their Student and Academic Affairs degree. I am pleased to note that UCLA doctoral alumni seem to be doing very well in terms of placement in both academic and non-academic employment sectors. It is also clear from the available Daniel J. Bennett, Director data that there is an expanding nonacademic job market which is attracting an increasing number of students in a variety of disciplines. Indeed, many of our doctoral recipients are actively pursuing rather Graduate Student Support than simply “settling” for positions in a variety of non-academic settings—not just in the traditional Lynn Roych, Director areas of government and industry, but across a broad range of appealing and rewarding careers. I welcome any suggestions from students as to how our placement data could be further analyzed Graduate Division Website and distributed in ways that would be informative and helpful. http://www.gdnet.ucla.edu Sincerely, GraduateGraduate QuarterlyQuarterly

We realistically for productive and rewarding lives. If we cannot do that realistically for our own welcome suggestions and comments, doctoral students, we have failed a basic obligation. Yet the scientific community and the which may be printed selectively in universities have both refused to face up to this problem.

In addition, departments should be required to tell their incom- ing graduate students several important facts about the history of their training programs Graduate Quarterly before the students make their decisions. The first critical item of information is the UCLA Graduate Division percentage of students entering the program during the past decade who have earned their 1252 Murphy Hall degrees. The second is an accounting of the average time taken to obtain the degree.
