As of the spring of 2007, Phase II of University of Cincinnati’s Ph.D. Completion Project continues previous efforts aimed at new graduate students, including the Quantitative and Qualitative Longitudinal Study of Ph.D. Student Attitudes and Outcomes. The study collects detailed data about incoming students, to help identify and focus the development and fine-tuning of future interventions, and inform efforts to improve retention and completion rates in doctoral programs. The project also launches a series of initiatives focused on graduate students who have reached Ph.D. candidacy, particularly graduate student mentoring and graduate students’ timely progression to degree. The University of Cincinnati believes these efforts will positively impact mid and late attrition, and thus increase Ph.D. completion percentages.
