Sarah

An exchange you started with Erin Paseka was forwarded to me.  Our office has been asked not to distribute data related to proposed budget reductions at this time. However, information regarding impacted students has been shared with your Dean. If you are seeking details on this matter, we recommend reaching out directly to your college’s Dean’s office for further guidance.

Alisha, here’s Sarah’s response.  I think IEA’s Data Index tools (Tableau website) probably has an overall doctoral count, but not PhDs specifically.

Should I proceed with compiling this for Sarah?

Hi Erin,

All Ph.D.s, exlcuding Ed.D.s and Law, and any other Ds that are not Ph.D.s across all units, by year. Don't need the plan information, just a count of total PhDs awared by year, excluding all the other Ds

A count of EDAD's Ph.D.s by year would be good to check against our count.

If we could get this by October 1st, that would be great.

If there is existing data that we could extract these from ourselves, that would be fine. We're trying to see what our total Ph.D. output is relative to the university as a whole for our APC hearing.

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi, Sarah.  When you ask for PhDs awarded:

  1.  Do you mean strictly PhDs, or all doctoral degrees (including EdD and others, excluding Law)?
  2.  Do you mean those overseen by Educational Administration, or across all UNL units?
  3.  Are you aiming to end up with 1 overall PhD count per year, or separate counts per plan (major+degree) and year?  Does it need specialization-level detail?  (A sample/mockup table can be a good way to show the granularity you have in mind.)
  4.  What’s your target date for receiving this data?

If you can provide those clarifications, we can use that info to either direct you to existing data or add this to a custom reporting work queue.

Hi Eva,

We were hoping you could help us with some data for our APC hearing. We are looking for the number of Ph.D.s awarded by UNL in each of the years 2015-2025. If it only comes by Dec/May/August, I'm happy to take that and aggregate it myself.

Thank you,

Sarah
