Doctoral Completions and Time-to-Degree
Prepared for the AAUDE Annual 2015 Conference
For its 2015 annual conference, the Association of American Universities Data Exchange (AAUDE) challenged participants to find innovative ways to present data on Doctoral Completion Rates and Time-to-Degree.
In a joint effort, the Office of Institutional Research, Planning & Assessment (IRPA) partnered with the Graduate School to bring this data to life.
We used animated data visualizations to analyze our Chemical Engineering and Economics doctoral programs, comparing their performance independently and against our Big Ten peers.
Competing against colleagues at Harvard University and Purdue University, the University of Maryland team was designated the winner of the inaugural Data Challenge Panel. Congrats go to Wayne Taliaferro, Emily Foley, Stephanie Dolamore, and Thomas Dobrosielski from IRPA and Shama Akhtar from the Graduate School.
