Important Notes |
General Notes Information is limited to specific academic departments, programs, and plans eligible for the Graduate Student Support Competition (GSSC). Data excludes secondary majors for students pursing joint degrees. More information on the Graduate Student Support Competition can be found at https://kb.wisc.edu/grad/page.php?id=87254. Completions Data Doctoral completion records are for students starting their doctoral plan between academic year 2010/11 and academic year 2014/15. Master's completion records are for students starting their master's plan between academic year 2014/15 and 2018/19. In both cases, degree completion/enrollment status is measured at the end of spring, 2022. The 'Still Enrolled in Program' category includes students still enrolled in either fall 2021 or spring 2022 in their original academic plan, as well as those enrolled in a different academic plan but in the same academic program. The 'Left with Other Degree from Program' category includes students who did not complete their original master's plan but who earned either a (different) master's or doctoral degree in the same program. |
