For full-time students, data are available by mechanism and source of major support. Data are also collected on postdoctorates by sex and citizenship for each science and engineering discipline. Data were obtained from the now discontinued NSF Survey of Scientific and Engineering Personnel Employed at Universities and Colleges. Available data include the numbers of degrees by institution, degree level, sex, and all academic disciplines. Data by race and ethnicity are available for some years.
Some years contain data by broad academic discipline, race, age or residence status.
Institutional data are collected annually on numbers of faculty and average salaries by rank, tenure status, contract length, and sex. Data also include fringe benefit expenditures by rank and contract length. Data are collected for 151 revenue, expenditure, scholarship, utility, hospital, physical plant, indebtedness, and endowment variables. Data are also available for room, board, and book costs. Summary data derived from the continuing National Research Council Survey of Earned Doctorates.
