NOTES:
  • In previous reports the data from Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne have been included with Indiana University. Due to recent clarification of program affiliation, these data are now being counted as part of Purdue University.
  • . = data were not collected at this level or institution was not eligible to participate for this survey year.
  • Fields of study are grouped as they appear in survey data table (https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvygradpostdoc/#tabs-2).
