Significantly, UT-Houston and one other school were the only ones currently not granting doctoral degrees to be included in the ranking. If approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board this spring, UT-Houston School of Nursing would initiate the doctoral program in the fall of 1995. The school has compiled a list of 923 nurses who have requested applications to the program. To arrive at the rankings, questionnaires were sent to deans, top administrators and senior faculty of the accredited schools in each discipline. In most cases, questionnaires were sent to three respondents at each school.
Respondents rate only the institutions in their own disciplines.
They were asked to rank the reputations of accredited schools by placing them into one of four quartiles of academic quality. Rankings were based on average scores. Return to UT-Houston News Releases Menu . Return to UT-Houston Public Affairs .
