Graduate School Annual Report 2010-2011

Overview

The past year was one of change, transition, and accomplishment for the Graduate School as we positioned ourselves thoughtfully for increased effectiveness and impact going forward despite the continuing economic downturn.

With the appointment of a new Dean and Vice Provost on July 1, 2010, the Graduate School began

aligning our goals with Cornell’s strategic initiatives in the following areas: diversity, field and administrative structures, financial support, infrastructure, and visibility. We reconfigured our organizational structure and modified some positions to improve our ability to contribute to university goals related to diversity, assessment, and fostering excellence in graduate education. Our capacity in services and communications was enhanced to improve our support of graduate fields, students, and faculty and increase our reach and impact.

During the 2010-2011 year, the Graduate School continued to attract

outstanding students with over 17,000 applications submitted, representing an overall growth of 15% in applications. Over the past ten years, applications from underrepresented minorities increased by 143%, admittance of underrepresented minorities increased by 75%, and matriculations by 89%.

Within the academic disciplines over the past year, fields in the social sciences

showed the largest increase in enrollment (10%), while the life sciences had the smallest increase at 1%. Ten year trends show the fields in physical sciences and engineering with sustained increases in enrollment at 32%.

Professional master’s programs continued to grow during the past ten years with a 70% increase in

matriculations and 49% increase in degrees awarded. The number of doctoral degrees awarded increased by 30% over the same period.

In award year 2011, the bulk of total degrees awarded (51%) were in the physical sciences. Degrees

awarded in the social sciences accounted for 31% of total graduate degrees conferred. Of the total degrees awarded in 2011, those in the humanities and life sciences represented 9% in each discipline.

Graduate School Degrees

Graduate study has been a part of the Cornell curriculum since the founding of the university. Cornell was one of the first institutions of higher education in the United States to offer advanced degrees. The Cornell Register for the academic year 1868-69 described requirements for four advanced degrees: M.S., M.A., Ph.D., and an advanced degree in civil engineering.

Cornell awarded an M.S. degree in civil engineering in 1870 to Henry Turner Eddy, who also became Cornell's first Ph.D. in 1872, just seven years after the founding of the university. At that time there were fewer than two hundred graduate students in the United States. Although Yale awarded a Ph.D. degree in 1861, Harvard did not until 1873. Columbia followed in 1875; Michigan, in 1876.

Research Degrees

Today, research degrees are designed for individuals who demonstrate the potential to perform original research under guidance with a view to various careers, including those in research and teaching.

M.S. (Master of Science)

M.A. (Master of Arts)

M.F.A. (Master of Fine Arts)

M.S./Ph.D. (joint Master’s/Doctor of Philosophy)

Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy)

J.S.D. (Doctor of Science of Law)

D.M.A. (Doctor of Musical Arts)

Professional Degrees

Professional degrees prepare students to practice their profession at an advanced level, to teach the subject matter of their profession, or to pursue original investigations into its functions, administration, history, and progress.

M.Arch. I (Master of Architecture)

M. Arch. II (post-professional Master of Architecture)

M.A.T. (Master of Arts in Teaching)

Accomplishments

Diversity

Goals for 2010-2011: Develop a plan to make significant progress toward a more diverse graduate student body in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity, focusing particularly on those fields underrepresented in these metrics.

Highlights: The Graduate School successfully completed two hires that will support diversity and other goals related to academic and professional success as well as the overall student experience.

The Associate Dean for Inclusion and Professional Development will support graduate field efforts to recruit a diverse student body; to develop, coordinate, and provide professional development programming for students, with a particular, but not exclusive, focus on students from groups historically underrepresented in graduate education; and, to collaborate with other diversity professionals across campus in goal-setting and assessment efforts related to the diversity components of the university’s strategic plan. Dr. Sheri Notaro joined the Graduate School in August 2011.

The Assistant Dean for Professional Development will expand these efforts to focus on leadership skills, research ethics training, communication skills, grant-writing, and cross-cultural capacity. Dr. Tilman Baumstark joined the Graduate School in August in September 2011.

Field and Administrative Structures

Goals for 2010-2011: Modify field and administrative structures to improve student experience, program visibility, resource allocation, and administrative efficiency. The Graduate School assisted fields with exploring and instituting professional science master’s (PSM) degree programs. As a result of this process, one proposal is pending approval for PSM affiliation, applied statistics, and another is contemplated, food science and technology.

New programs and program changes by area:

Arts & Humanities

Art established a new concentration in studio art.

Life Sciences

Immunology initiated a name change to immunology and infectious disease (still in approval process).

Financial Support

Goal for 2010-2011: Improve approaches to Graduate School financial support. In 2010-2011, we laid the groundwork for the upcoming campaign during which graduate fellowship funding will be a major fundraising goal. Competitive funding packages improve our ability to attract top students who in turn attract top faculty. Work on the campaign will continue into next year.

Highlights:

Negotiated appropriate stipend and tuition rates and mechanisms to maintain competitive graduate student support.

Partnered with Alumni Affairs and Development and colleges/schools on fundraising for graduate fellowships.

Transferred graduate fellowship endowment accounts that are held at the Graduate School to the colleges.



Infrastructure

Goals for 2010-2011: Improve transparency, responsiveness, administration, and communication with the graduate community.

Highlights:

In response to several recommendations from the 2009 Registrar/Student Services Task Force Report, we restructured and reorganized several positions within the Graduate School to improve overall responsiveness and to modernize our administrative structure.

o Graduate/professional student loan processing shifted to the Office of Financial

Aid and Student Employment. o Thesis and dissertation formatting guidelines were streamlined, resulting in one

staff position shifting to the University Registrar’s Office. o The part-time administrative manager’s workload was refocused for greater

attention on financial oversight and planning. HR functions were moved to central Human Resources.

o The associate dean position, vacated in the fall of 2010, was reconfigured into an associate dean for inclusion and professional development.

o An administrative assistant position, vacated in the spring 2011, was reconfigured to enable strategic deployment of administrative support to the Office of Student Services.

o The manager of data reporting and analysis position was redesigned and upgraded, and a second position was added to balance the workload and provide more capacity.

Some college/school offices assumed the registrar function for professional master’s programs within their units.

Launched the Special Committee Selection and Change Form, which transitioned a cumbersome paper process to a web-based form.

Learning Assessment

Goals for 2010-2011: Ensure that the Graduate School has a robust form of assessment that generates full information, including some type of student feedback and peer assessment, and provides faculty with feedback enabling them to improve their graduate student mentoring, education, and training continually. Highlights:

Developed a statement of learning proficiencies for research master’s and Ph.D. programs, and articulated suggested rubrics and measurement tools; see http://www.gradschool.cornell.edu/academics/learning-assessment.

Collaborated with the Center for Teaching Excellence to offer a half-day workshop for Directors of Graduate Studies (DGS) on learning outcomes and assessment; meetings with DGS groups this year included discussions of assessment.

Professional and Career Development

Goals for 2010-2011: Enhance graduate student professional development opportunities to enable success in the variety of careers to which our students may be attracted.

http://www.gradschool.cornell.edu/academics/learning-assessment



Highlights:

Implemented a Graduate Career Day in cooperation with campus career services professionals.

Launched a new career services micro-site focusing on research Master’s and Ph.D. students, http://gradschool.cornell.edu/career-development.

Subscribed to the Versatile Ph.D., an on-line career services support network.

Offered a series of seminars on the academic job search for graduate students and postdocs.

Visibility

Goals for 2010-2011: Increase visibility of the Graduate School, graduate students, post-docs, and graduate education/research. Enable others to recognize how our considerable strengths in graduate education contribute to Cornell’s strategic goals, including the university’s ability to recruit outstanding new faculty. Highlights:

Launched new website to showcase graduate education at Cornell and to provide administrative information.

Coordinated Cornell’s response to the National Research Council Report on doctoral programs, including press releases and analysis of the highly complex report.

Inaugurated a Ph.D. Hooding Ceremony for the first time in Cornell’s history.

Increased press coverage and awareness of graduate education at Cornell.

A review of admissions data over the past ten years reveals a trend towards increased application rates, despite dips in 2004-2005. This is consistent with national trends of decreased international applications to American institutions during that period. Matriculations to professional master's programs have grown significantly (70%) over the past ten years. Research master's and doctoral program applications have increased as well over the ten year period (16% for research masters and 19% for doctoral programs).

Humanities Life Sciences Physical Sciences Social Sciences

Admissions statistics for research degrees have remained fairly consistent over the past ten years with a slow but steady increase in arts and humanities applications (offset by an equally slow decline in the life sciences). Yield for the life sciences has increased significantly during that time. The 2001 yield was 44%, whereas 2010 yield was 71%. Professional degree applications over the past ten years have shown a marked increase in the physical sciences and engineering, and an offsetting decrease in the social sciences. Admittances and matriculations have followed this same pattern.

Notes on Cornell Degrees Awarded In March 2008, Cornell President David Skorton was invited to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative University, hosted by former US President Bill Clinton. President Clinton described Cornell as "a university in northern New York with a global presence", and nowhere at Cornell is that more evident than at the Graduate School. In 2002, Cornell granted 666 degrees to international students. By 2011, that number increased 29% to 856, with 80 countries represented ranging from Argentina to Zimbabwe. Of the 2,076 degrees awarded in 2011, 1,151 were professional master's degrees, 495 were doctoral degrees and 430 were research master's degrees. Doctoral degrees awarded increased 30% over the past ten years, and the number of professional master's degrees presented to graduate students grew 49%. In 2011, total degrees granted in the physical sciences and engineering represented 51% of the total Graduate School degrees awarded; the social sciences accounted for 31%; and the arts and humanities and life sciences disciplines awarded the remainder with 9% each. Women earned 37% of the total degrees granted in 2011; 42% of this group was international. Of the 326 women representing non-US countries, 58% earned a professional master's degree, with the predominant disciplines being the physical sciences and engineering and the social sciences. Cornell University’s founding vision embraced diversity, and the Graduate School’s 10 year trend in degrees awarded supports this vision. Total minorities comprised 16% of those earning graduate degrees in 2011, while underrepresented minorities received 8% of the total.

Financial Support

Graduate students are supported through assistantships, fellowships, and self-funding. A fellowship is an arrangement in which financial support is given to a graduate student to pursue his or her degree without any obligation on the part of the student to engage in teaching and/or research in furtherance of the university’s academic mission. Fellowships are generally merit-based awards intended to support a student in a full-time course of study. Assistantships are an arrangement in which financial support is given to a graduate student who engages in teaching and/or research in furtherance of the university’s academic mission, as well as his or her graduate education. At Cornell, assistantships include teaching assistantships (TA), graduate assistantships (GA), graduate research assistantships (GRA), and research assistantships (RA). Graduate fellowship funding has remained flat over the past ten years (a trend consistent with that reported by US News and World Report on www.usnews.com/education; March 2011). Cornell fellowships have increased by 3%, while other fellowships, which include external fellowships, have decreased by 5%. In the disciplines over the past ten years, fellowship funding in the life sciences decreased (-19%), whereas the physical sciences showed a 12% increase, and fields in the humanities and social sciences experienced a 4% increase. During the same time period, assistantships have grown steadily (21%), with the largest increases reflected in physical sciences and engineering (26%).
