This dissertation research examines differences in the ranking of               graduate programs of study in American universities across                      disciplines and over a period time (1964-1981).  The goal is to                 determine the significance of organizational factors, within                    departments and within universities, in promoting the                           effectiveness of doctoral programs.  Effectiveness is gauged by                 faculty ratings of these programs.  Both stability and change in                the ranking of doctoral programs will be examined, using existing               faculty rankings from 1964, 1969, and 1981.  Similarities and                   differences in factors affecting the ranking of graduate programs               in the natural and social sciences will also be investigated.                   The project will contribute to an understanding of trends in                    higher education in the United States and the role of                           organizational factors in promoting quality education.
