Graduate Enrollment and Degrees by Fine Field: 2002 to 2012 ii
The CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees is jointly sponsored by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) and the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Board. Conducted annually since 1986, the survey is designed to provide information about applications to graduate school, graduate student enrollment, and graduate degrees and certificates conferred. This report on first-time and total graduate enrollment and graduate degrees by fine field and demographics is made available, without charge, to CGS members and is a companion piece to the main survey report, Graduate Enrollment and Degrees: 2002 to 2012. PDF versions of both reports are available on the CGS website at www.cgsnet.org.

Introduction
The CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees is jointly sponsored by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) and the Gradu-ate Record Examinations (GRE) Board. Conducted annually since 1986, the survey provides information about applications for admission to graduate school, first-time and total graduate student enrollment, and graduate degrees and certificates conferred. Both CGS and GRE believe that graduate education is a vital part of U.S. higher education and that providing an annual examination of trends in graduate enroll-ment and degrees, by field of study, degree level, and demographics, is essential for understanding the graduate education enterprise. The CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees is the only national survey that collects data on first-time and total graduate enrollment by field across all fields of graduate study. It is also the only source of data on graduate enrollment by degree level (master’s vs. doctoral) and the only national survey that collects data on applica-tions to graduate school by field of study.
Report Contents This report on first-time and total graduate enrollment and graduate degrees by fine field and demographics is made available, without charge, to CGS members and is a companion piece to the main sur-vey report, Graduate Enrollment and Degrees: 2002 to 2012. PDF ver-sions of both reports are available online at www.cgsnet.org. The tables that follow are divided into three sections. Section 1 pre-sents data on first-time and total graduate enrollment in fall 2012 by field of study, citizenship, race/ethnicity, and gender, and graduate degrees awarded in academic year 2011-12 by field of study, degree level (master’s vs. doctoral), and gender. Section 2 presents trend da-
ta on first-time and total graduate enrollment by field of study, citizen-ship, race/ethnicity and gender. This section includes the percent changes in first-time and total graduate enrollment between 2011 and 2012, the average annual percent changes between 2007 and 2012, and the average annual percent changes between 2002 and 2012. Section 3 presents trend data on graduate degrees awarded by field of study, degree level (master’s vs. doctoral), and gender, including the percent changes between 2011 and 2012, the average annual percent changes between 2007 and 2012, and the average annual percent changes between 2002 and 2012. For Sections 2 and 3 of this report, the trend data are limited to institu-tions that responded to the CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees in both of the years being compared. For example, the five-year trends include data from colleges and universities that re-sponded to the CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and De-grees in both 2007 and 2012. Restricting the analyses to the same institutions in both years being examined ensures that the trends being presented are accurate and not a reflection of differing survey re-spondents. For this reason, readers of this report should not compare the current year data in this report with current year figures provided in previous reports to determine trends in graduate education.
Survey Universe and Response Rate The CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees is sent electronically each fall to the U.S.-based institutions that as of Novem-ber each year are members of CGS or one of the four regional gradu-ate school associations—the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools (CSGS), the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools
Graduate Enrollment and Degrees by Fine Field: 2002 to 2012 2
(MAGS), the Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools (NAGS), and the Western Association of Graduate Schools (WAGS).1 This year’s survey was sent to a total of 787 colleges and universities, and useable responses were received from 675 institutions, for an overall response rate of 86%. While the total number of responding institutions represents about one-third (33%) of the approximately 2,000 degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States that offer programs at the graduate certificate level or above,2 the re-sponding institutions confer about 73% of the 735,000 master’s de-grees and 91% of the 73,000 doctorates awarded each year by U.S. colleges and universities.3 Because the respondents represent such a large percentage of the degrees awarded at the graduate level in the United States, it is likely that the trends reported here are representa-tive of overall national figures.
Data This report examines first-time graduate enrollment, total graduate enrollment, and graduate degrees awarded, defined as follows:
1 While CGS also has member institutions in Canada and international affiliate members, the survey population for the CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees is limited to graduate institutions in the United States. Data on gradu-ate enrollment and degrees in Canadian institutions are published by the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (www.cags.ca). 2 Data on the number of degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States that offer programs at the graduate certificate level or above were derived from the 2011 Institutional Characteristics – Directory Information data files from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). 3 Data on the number of graduate degrees conferred are from the 2010-11 Com-pletions Data File from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecond-ary Education Data System (IPEDS). This was the most recent IPEDS dataset available at the time of publication.
First-Time Enrollment: Includes the number of students enrolled for the first time in graduate certificate, education specialist, master’s, or doctoral programs for the fall term. Data are presented by field of study, citizenship, race/ethnicity, and gender. Total Enrollment: Includes the total number of students enrolled (first-time and continuing students) in graduate certificate, education spe-cialist, master’s, or doctoral programs for the fall term. Data are pre-sented by field of study, citizenship, race/ethnicity, and gender. Degrees: Includes the number of master’s and doctoral degrees awarded in the United States in a given academic year (July 1 through June 30). Data are presented by field of study, degree level (master’s vs. doctoral), and gender. The survey does not collect degree data by race/ethnicity or citizenship. The CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees collects total data for each institution for the categories and variables listed above, as well as data for up to 51 individual fine fields of study. The fine fields and broad fields are listed in Appendix A. The main survey report, Graduate Enrollment and Degrees: 2002 to 2012, groups the data from the 51 fine fields of study into 11 broad fields. This report presents the data for first-time graduate enrollment, total graduate en-rollment, and degrees awarded for 50 of the 51 fine fields. The field of Business, Other is included in this report, but it is grouped with Busi-ness Administration and Management. Students enrolled in or graduating from the following comprehensive list of first-professional programs are excluded from the survey data: Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.), Dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.), Law (L.L.B., J.D.), Medicine (M.D.), Optometry (O.D.), Osteopathic Medi-cine (D.O.), Pharmacy (Pharm.D.), Podiatry (D.P.M., D.P., or Pod.D.), Theology (M.Div., M.H.L., B.D., or Ordination), and Veterinary Medi-cine (D.V.M.). Data for all other graduate-level programs are included in the survey data, including programs in professional fields such as business.

The racial/ethnic data included in this report are based on data that are self-reported by graduate students to institutions. Therefore, the numbers in any given racial/ethnic category are subject to individual interpretation on the part of students as they complete registration forms. The citizenship and race/ethnicity categories are as follows: Non-Resident Alien (Temporary Resident)—A person who is not a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States and who is in the country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. Hispanic/Latino—A U.S. citizen or permanent resident of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. American Indian/Alaska Native—A U.S. citizen or permanent resi-dent having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) who maintains cultural identifica-tion through tribal affiliation or community recognition. Asian—A U.S. citizen or permanent resident having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian sub-continent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Ma-laysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Black/African American—A U.S. citizen or permanent resident hav-ing origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa (except those of Hispanic origin). Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander—A U.S. citizen or perma-nent resident having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific islands. White—A U.S. citizen or permanent resident having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East (except those of Hispanic origin).
Two or More Races—A U.S. citizen or permanent resident having origins in any two or more of the following race categories: American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Native Hawai-ian/Other Pacific Islander, or White. Race/Ethnicity Unknown—Includes U.S. citizens and permanent res-idents whose race/ethnicity is not known. Citizenship Unknown—Includes individuals whose citizenship is not known. Two significant changes to the race/ethnicity categories occurred start-ing with the 2010 data collection cycle. The first change divided the previous Asian/Pacific Islander category into two separate categories: Asian and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander. The second change split the previous Other/Unknown category into three separate catego-ries: Two or More Races, Race/Ethnicity Unknown, and Citizenship Unknown. The data presented in Section 1 of this report are based on the new race/ethnicity categories. For the trend data reported in Sections 2 and 3 of this report, the data for 2010 are aggregated to correspond with the earlier definitions of Asian/Pacific Islander and Other/Unknown, to permit the examination of one-, five-, and ten-year trends.
Notes on Interpreting the Data Each year, a small number of respondents to the CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees are unable to provide data for one or more categories or variables. Data are not imputed for missing fields or for non-responding institutions. Thus, not all cells and tables presented in Section 1 of this report include data from all 675 institu-tions that responded to the 2012 CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate En-rollment and Degrees. Because of this, the figures for citizenship, race/ethnicity, and gender provided in the data tables may not sum to
Graduate Enrollment and Degrees by Fine Field: 2002 to 2012 4
the totals since not all institutions responded to all items on the survey questionnaire. The trend data presented in Sections 2 and 3 of this report are based on a subset of the 675 institutions that provided data for 2012. The one-year trends include data from 623 colleges and universities that responded to the CGS/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and De-grees in both 2011 and 2012. The five-year trends include data from 594 institutions that responded to the survey in both 2007 and 2012. The ten-year trends include data from 527 institutions that responded in both 2002 and 2012. As noted above, restricting the analyses to the same institutions in both years being examined ensures that the trends being presented are accurate and not a reflection of differing survey respondents. Due to the small numbers of students (particularly women and minori-ties) in some fine fields, there are occasionally very large increases or decreases in the one-, five-, and ten-year trends. In these cases, trends should be interpreted cautiously since they may simply reflect the normal enrollment fluctuations that occur with small populations of students.
Since data were not imputed for missing fields or for non-responding institutions, there are occasionally instances in the trend tables where the percent changes for a total population do not fall between the per-cent changes for men and women. In these cases there are slightly more respondents providing overall data than demographic data, meaning that the calculations for the totals and for gender are based on different denominators. The data presented are accurate for the survey respondents, but the differing denominators can result in slight-ly different findings. This is particularly the case in instances where the demographics of the student population at the non-responding institu-tions differ considerably from the overall demographics for that field, where the percent changes are based on small numbers of students, and where the non-responding institutions have particularly large numbers of students. This online report is part of CGS’ continuing efforts to provide accurate and timely data that are useful to the graduate deans at our member institutions. Special thanks are extended to Leila Gonzales for her work in preparing this report, as well as Jeannette Remington for her assistance in assembling and proofing this report. CGS takes data seriously, and their careful efforts help to assure that CGS members receive information that is of the highest quality. Comments or sugges-tions for improving this report, for additional analyses or publications based on the data from the survey, or for different print and electronic delivery mechanisms for the survey data are welcome.
