NOTES:
- "Rate" reflects the number of doctorates earned in the 10-year period by the institution's baccalaureate alumni,
divided by the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded in a lagged (by 5 years) 10-year period.
- Consistent with NSF usage, "Sciences and Engineering" includes: Engineering; Physical sciences; Geosciences;
Math and Computer Sciences; Life Sciences; Psychology; Social Sciences; Science and Engineering
Technology; and Interdisciplinary or Other Sciences.
