Educators are seriously
concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctors of philosophy
candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph.D.s. Some
have placed the dropouts’ loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss
was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded
study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires
sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it
seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.
The dropouts
rate was found to be 31 percent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not
completing the Ph.D. requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only
doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the
income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.
Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was in
A. steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus
B. the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study
C. the Ph.D. holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout
D. the high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members
