IV. ONE-TIME SURVEY OF MASTERS DEGREES CONFERRED BY Ph.D. PROGRAMS

This supplement to the UAQ seeks information on two kinds of Master’s degrees conferred by some Ph.D. programs: (a) consolation degrees awarded to students who leave a Ph.D. program without a Ph.D. degree, and (b) milepost degrees awarded to continuing Ph.D. students who meet a stated requirement (or set of requirements) routinely on the road to the Ph.D.

Please answer questions 1 and 2 whether or not your Ph.D. program ever confers either Master’s degree.

1. General information on your Ph.D. program

    A. In recent years, about what percent of entering students
       (i.) arrived with a master’s degree in economics? %,
       (ii.) have been internationals (non-U.S. citizens)? %

    B. How many students (all years) were officially enrolled in your Ph.D. program at the start of the Fall term of 2009?
Male ,        Female ,          Total .

2. Master’s degrees offered and numbers conferred:

 
Awarded by your department?
Number conferred in AY2008-09
Kind of degree
Yes
No
Male
Female
Total
 
Consolation Master’s 
Milepost Master’s
         

Note: The sum of consolation plus milepost degrees reported above, plus the number of terminal Masters degrees, presumably should equal the total number of Masters degrees reported for AY2008-09 in Question 6. If not, please explain.

STOP HERE AND SUBMIT IF YOU DO NOT AWARD EITHER CONSOLATION OR MILEPOST MASTER'S DEGREES

If you would like to print out a copy of the questionnaire as a backup,
please go to File: Print now, before hitting the "Submit" button.


Please submit only once.

3. If you award consolation Master’s degrees, which of the following requirements must a student meet to qualify for that degree? Check all that apply:

earn at least credit hours in your Ph.D. program (please enter number:)
earn a minimum GPA in Ph.D. courses
complete specific Master’s-level courses
write an acceptable Master’s thesis or paper
must not already have an Econ Masters degree
other requirements (please specify: )

4. If you award milepost Master’s degrees, what is the last curricular milepost a student must reach in order to qualify for that degree?
