Incentives for Increased Graduate Enrollments: Incentive Types and Implementation Strategies

Institutions seeking to increase graduate enrollment consider incentivizing program growth. This report outlines ways that institutions allow graduate programs to keep surplus revenue, including tuition rebates, funding proportional to credit-hours, and decreased tax rates. It also examines scholarship programs created to increase admitted graduate student yield, new program offerings, and ongoing unit review.

Impacts of Graduate Student Enrollment Increases

As graduate schools seek to increase enrollment, faculty and staff must consider the impacts of enrollment increases on program curricula, faculty workloads, and course delivery methods. This brief examines how other institutions prepare for and implement increases in graduate enrollment. More specifically, the report reviews how graduate enrollment goals and rates impact faculty workloads, program curriculum and course delivery methods.

Managing Graduate Enrollments Graduate Enrollment Roles and Responsibilities

For the vast majority of colleges and universities, financial sustainability depends on maintaining or growing enrollment. Enrollment management discussions at the graduate level require a clear division of responsibilities among faculty and staff. This report examines how graduate school deans, enrollment management staff, and graduate program directors collaborate to meet enrollment goals.

An assessment of criteria to evaluate the graduate education program in Brazil

This study sought to identify criteria adequate for the evaluation of graduate programs in Brazil. A survey was the means for collecting the ratings and rankings given by faculty members at selected Brazilian graduate programs. A questionnaire using Likerttype and ranking items asked the importance attributed by each respondent to each of the 109 items listed. The data analysis reported in this dissertation indicates that the most highly rated criteria and indicators were: (1) Library: current periodicals; (2) Facilities: classrooms and laboratories; (3) Library: books and monographs; (4) Academic Environment: discussion, investigation, and expression; and (5) Facilities: research space and equipment. The study presents the means and standard deviations obtained for each indicator and also includes some figures obtained for a relational analysis. This dissertation was developed to provide useful information to educational planners, policy makers, administrators, and evaluators involved in Brazilian higher education or comparative studies. It is suggested that additional investigations concentrate on more specific and in-depth analysis and interpretation of the policymaking processes, i.e., on the study of social facts or organizational and academic variables in their relationships with aspects of the educational system. The appendices section includes a facsimile of the questionnaire and additional data.

Graduate and undergraduate studies: neighbors without affinity?

O texto apresenta dois conjuntos de informações de interesse histórico para a Psicologia: sobre o contexto no qual foi regulamentada a profi ssão de psicólogo e sobre a formação em nível de pós-graduação. Tais informações são utilizadas para discutir a dificuldade de promover articulação de fato entre a formação em nível de graduação e a pós-graduação. Trata-se de dificuldade especialmente curiosa, pois desde a fase inicial da organização da pós-graduação brasileira, a necessidade de considerar sua integração com a formação em nível de graduação foi sempre ressaltada. Ainda assim, persistem dificuldades relativas à essa integração. Algumas proposições de atividades que podem ensejar articulações entre os diferentes níveis de formação são apresentadas para o debate, tanto na esfera do ensino e da orientação como no âmbito da pesquisa, havendo menção, também, a atividades correlatas que podem servir ao mesmo objetivo.

Contribution of graduate programs in plant breeding to the education of plant breeders in Brazil

The success of agribusiness in Brazil in recent decades is unquestionable. Although the country has always had favorable conditions for agriculture (land, water and climate), this success has only come about recently, due to scientific research, which has resulted in considerable increases in yield and in improvement of product quality, as well as making the occupation of new agricultural frontiers possible. A decisive factor for development of agriculture in the country was the creation of EMBRAPA in 1973, which, in a few years, led to considerable demand for researchers with training in graduate programs. Among them are plant breeders, who came to exercise their activity throughout the country and in all ecosystems. The training of plant breeders was only possible because, as from the middle of the 1960s, the country began a wide-ranging education program, with the creation of several graduate programs in genetics and plant breeding.
