University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI conducted the Survey on Doctoral Education and Career Preparation, a national survey of over 4,000 doctoral students from 27 selected universities and one cross-institutional program. The survey aimed to provide insights into the experiences and goals of doctoral students in 11 arts and sciences disciplines. The summary report, "At Cross Purposes: What the experiences of today's doctoral students reveal about doctoral education," was released in January 2001, with additional papers to follow. The survey, conducted in 1999, was prepared for The Pew Charitable Trusts in Philadelphia, PA, by Chris M. Golde and Timothy M. Dore. The report offers valuable information on doctoral education and can be accessed as a PDF on the project's website.
