chaospaladin Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I was looking at the NRC rankings on Phd.org for ecology just for fun and I came across this: http://graduate-scho...____________U/3 For University of Toledo, how is it possible that the average length to a PhD is 4 years yet 0% of PhD students get their PhD in Ecology at University of Toledo within 6 years or fewer? Is there something I'm missing? I also encountered these inconsistencies for other fields listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eco_env Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think it's because it's a small dataset- no one graduated in the particular years where data was collected. Also, the time to graduation probably ignores people who drop out, while they are probably counted in the graduation rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
