Information Technology
Degree Production

  • The figures represent information technology degrees at all levels. The numbers for UMBC are a combination of BS, MS and PhD degrees from both the Computer Science and Information Systems programs. I assume that other universities have also reported all degrees appropriate to the category, such as computer engineering, computer and information science, etc. There are no other categories in this dataset (which carried the label "computer science") appropriate for information technology.
  • I believe that this data is the *most recent reliable data* available. It was obtained from NSF's WebCASPAR database which provides easy access to a large body of statistical data resources dealing with science and engineering at U.S. academic institutions. In particular, this table used data from the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) survey which are conducted by the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
  • To make this more meaningful for our context, the table below includes just the top 100 schools in the following Carnegie categories:
      R1, R2 -- Research University I and II
      D1, D2 -- Doctorate-Granting University I and II
      C1, C2 -- Master's (Comprehensive) Colleges and Universities I and II
    That is, I eliminated two year schools, baccalaureate (Liberal Arts) Colleges, specialized schools, etc. You can also look at the complete table.
