Graduate Students

Graduate data by the numbers

Admissions to All Doctoral Programs in the Eberly College of Science.
Note: Data last updated September 2020. Each year refers to the academic year that an

applicant would normally matriculate--e.g., an applicant in Dec 2019 would expect

to begin in the 2020 academic year.
Total enrollment in all Ph.D. programs in science.
Note: Data are from the official fall enrollment figures (captured at the sixth class week),

most recently from October 2020. International and women percentages are of total enrollment,

while "URM" percentages (underrepresented minority) are of domestic enrollment

(and include single-race URM categories as well as all multiracial students).
Median time to graduate milestones in all doctoral programs in science.
Note: Data are up through September 2020. Each year refers

to the median time in years to the relevant milestone among

all enrolled students at the time who have completed the

indicated milestone (calculated from the admit term to the

end of the term of successful milestone completion).
Completion Rate by cohort among all doctoral programs in science.
Note: Data are up through July 2020. Starting cohorts are

grouped by three consecutive years together due to small

numbers in individual cohorts. Please note that recent cohorts

may still be actively enrolled.
Initial Job Placement by Industry Category of Recent Graduates of Ph.D. Programs in Science.
Note: Data last updated in November 2020. Each academic year begins in the summer and goes through

the spring--e.g., "2017-18" includes Ph.D. graduates from Summer 2017, Fall 2017, and Spring 2018.
