Content Inside :

* History, Computer Engineering, and to a lesser degree, Civil Engineering had the smallest proportions of PhD degrees awarded

Notable Program Characteristics
* Positive Characteristics: competitive stipend, comparably balanced graduate/undergraduate programs, mid-size program, and mid-range student-to-faculty ratio
* Negative Characteristics:

low stipend, lack of office space, high student-to-faculty ratio, unstructured curriculum, and very large program size

Recommendations – Recruitment
* Develop an informative and interactive program website
* Establish a program to identify and take advantage of “partner schools”
* Proactively recruit by initiating follow-ups with more personal approaches
* Waive the application fee for attractive domestic students
* Proactively investigate the reasons behind an admittee’s decision not to attend UF

Recommendations-Admissions
* Divide the functions of recruitment and admission
* Provide financial support for on-campus visits of admittees
* Avoid preferential admission for a program’s own undergraduate students
* Emphasize the factor of “fit” between students and faculty/program
* Monitor acceptance rates to avoid comparatively very high acceptance rates

Recommendations: Mentoring
* Institutionalize a formal advisor–student matching system that emphasizes the process of mutual selection and the factor of “fit”
* Create opportunities for new PhD students to become acquainted with the faculty before assigning advisors
* Develop a reward system to ensure a more even distribution of the PhD student advising loads
