Measuring Doctoral Attrition and Completion: Pre-Meeting Workshop
Outcome measures such as degree completion and job placement are playing an increasingly important role in the assessment of doctoral programs. This workshop will focus on the measurement and analysis of doctoral completion and attrition. The workshop will provide quantitative templates for measuring completion rates and attrition patterns as well as qualitative tools (such as sample exit interviews) for assessing the causes of attrition and for measuring the impact of policy and practice interventions designed to enhance doctoral completion rates. We will focus on concrete strategies, sound principles, and effective practices of data collection and analysis.

PhD Program Outcomes: The Feasibility and Value of Comparisons
This session will focus on the comparability of institutional data. Using data from
three universities representing three countries (Australia, Canada, and the US),
speakers will address the feasibility of comparing outcome data such as
completion rates and times-to-degree as well as what their universities are doing
to improve doctoral completion and attrition in light of institutional and
international differences in Ph.D. program requirements and outcomes.
