USA Science and Engineering Doctorates Hold Steady
Posted on December 8, 2005 Comments (0)
| 1995 | 2000 | 2004 | |
| Total S&E Doctorates | 29,533 | 26,536 | 26,275 |
NSF also indicates 33% of all doctorates (including those outside science and engineering) went to non-USA citizens in 2004 compared to 32% in 1995. It is not surprising that the percentage of non-USA-citizen doctorate degrees, awarded in the USA, is much higher for many science and engineering fields (65% in engineering, 56% in mathematics, 55% in physics). It might be surprising to many people that 56% of computer science doctorates were awarded to non-USA citizens.
More detailed data on Science and Engineering Doctorate Awards is available from NSF.
