Ph.D. COMPLETION AND ATTRITION AT DUKE UNIVERSITY FOR COHORTS ENTERING BEFORE AND AFTER INTERVENTATIONS Lewis M. Siegel Duke University 2007 CGS Annual Meeting Seattle, WA

INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE Ph.D. COMPLETION RATE AT DUKE AFTER 1995: STUDENT FUNDING Institute 5-6 year funding guarantee in all A&S units; generally support to degree in sciences Departments given budgets based on graduate education parameters, not service needs 3-year budgets to deal with variations in yield Reduction in student teaching loads; more fellowship years Competitive summer research support introduced Funded capstone teaching fellowships at dissertation stage

INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE Ph.D. COMPLETION RATE AT DUKE AFTER 1995: BETTER INFORMED SELECTION Reduce emphasis on GRE scores and GPAs – data show poor correlation with completion as Duke uses them Emphasize demonstrated research experience Transparency: Put Duke data on placement, time to degree, completion rates in each program – student should know what (s)he is getting into Interview students before admitting them – Exchange information to learn fit rather than just sell program

INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE Ph.D. COMPLETION RATE AT DUKE AFTER 1995: IMPROVED PROGRAMS Teaching: Require structured teaching experiences for graduate TAs where career-appropriate; Graduate school workshops in pedagogy and uses of instructional technology; expanded PFF program. Responsible conduct of research training extended to all Ph.D. students in all disciplines Field-specific symposia to introduce career options to Ph.D. students Enhanced student services; strong investment in subsidizing child care for graduate students Best Practices charter for faculty, students, Grad School
