[new] Find out about attrition and time to PhD (none / 0) (#2)
by jvano on Fri Feb 13, 2004 at 04:04:40 PM PDT

Two useful things to know:
  • What is the attrition rate for students in the program (see a related story on Ph.D. attrition rates)?

    It might be hard to get a straight answer from people in the department on this, but one way to find out is ask current grad students (when they are not on the record).

  • What is the average time for students to earn their PhD?

    This is something you are more likely able to directly ask the graduate advisor (or whoever is your contact person in the department).
