This dissertation research examines differences in the ranking of graduate programs of study in American universities across disciplines and over a period time (1964-1981). The goal is to determine the significance of organizational factors, within departments and within universities, in promoting the effectiveness of doctoral programs. Effectiveness is gauged by faculty ratings of these programs. Both stability and change in the ranking of doctoral programs will be examined, using existing faculty rankings from 1964, 1969, and 1981. Similarities and differences in factors affecting the ranking of graduate programs in the natural and social sciences will also be investigated. The project will contribute to an understanding of trends in higher education in the United States and the role of organizational factors in promoting quality education.

本论文研究了美国大学跨学科和一段时期（1964-1981）研究生课程排名的差异。目标是确定部门和大学内部组织因素在促进博士课程有效性方面的重要性。有效性是由这些项目的教师评分来衡量的。将使用1964年、1969年和1981年的现有教员排名来检查博士项目排名的稳定性和变化。还将调查影响自然科学和社会科学研究生项目排名的因素的异同。该项目将有助于了解美国高等教育的趋势和组织因素在促进优质教育方面的作用。
