Carnegie Initiative On the Doctorate Selects Partner Departments
Menlo Park, Calif.
The Carnegie Initiative on the Doctorate (CID), a multi-year research and action project aimed at improving doctoral education at American universities, announced the selection of 32 partner departments in chemistry, education, English and mathematics.
Partner departments will analyze all aspects of their doctoral programs and link specific activities to desired outcomes. Departments will begin this analysis by clarifying their goals for doctoral education in their respective disciplines, and will commit to creating “design experiments” in doctoral education to better meet their identified goals.
