This article presents information on surveys related to the ratings of doctoral programs in selected areas of speech communication during 1987-1988. The earlier surveys were conducted in order to provide usable information for deans, department heads, and prospective graduate students. The American Council on Education conducted similar research in other disciplines and found that deans and department heads use the results to justify allocations of resources. The analysis of respondent characteristics suggests that different populations are represented by the Association of Communication Administration and the Speech Communication Association (SCA) random samples. A final decision on the representativeness and authority of the results generated from the ACA and SCA samples is left to the discretion of the readers of this report. The results included here include the top 50% of programs identified in the eight program areas and overall quality. When the number of programs could not be divided into equal sized groups, a decision was made to enlarge the number of programs reported. When interpreting the results, several variables should be taken into account. |
