Useful Stats: Science & Engineering Doctorate Awards by State
The National Science Foundation Division of Science Resource Statistics has e-published early release tables for the Science & Engineering Doctorate Awards: 2000 report. The data show trends in science and engineering (S&E) doctorate awards by S&E field and recipient characteristics, institutions awarding doctorates, and postgraduation plans of recipients.
Among the 10 tables included in the report is an 18-page table presenting institutions conferring S&E doctorates by state, institution, and major field in 2000. SSTI has prepared a table summarizing the 2000 data, standardizing S&E doctorates per 100,000 residents in each state, and ranking the results by state.
The District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware and Iowa awarded the highest number of S&E doctorates in 2000 per 100,000 residents.
