While the trend in undergraduate degrees tends to attract more attention from observers, the trend in graduate students serves as an important barometer of health for advanced study in the humanities. With that in mind, the HDS also tracks and reports graduate student enrollment, as well as the extent and nature of departmental support for doctoral students. For the long-term trend in the number of students receiving master’s and doctoral degrees, please see the HI’s main indicator set at /humanities-indicators/higher-education/advanced-degrees-humanities.

Analysis of change over time in the median value for each discipline was not conducted as part of this study.

* Students who enrolled in more than one course in the discipline were counted in each course in which they enrolled.
** A combined department is one that grants degrees in English and in languages and literatures other than English (LLE).

For the values underlying this figure: See Table 15 in the Appendix, Part A.

Analysis of change over time in the median value for each discipline was not conducted as part of this study.

* Interpret with caution; the standard error is more than 25% of the estimate.
** A combined department is one that grants degrees in English and in languages and literatures other than English (LLE).

For the values underlying this figure: See Tables 14a and b in the Appendix, Part A.

* Combined English/LLE was excluded from the figure because reliable estimates could not be generated for these departments. For several of the other disciplines, the estimated shares for partial support and no support had standard errors that were more than 25% of the size of the share. These estimates should thus be interpreted with caution. Please see Table 16 (in the Appendix) for details.

For the values underlying this figure: See Table 16 in the Appendix, Part A.

* These values were calculated by dividing the estimated total number of teaching assistants of each kind by the number of departments that employed at least one graduate student in that capacity.
** A combined department is one that grants degrees in English and in languages and literatures other than English (LLE).

For the values underlying this figure: See Table 17 in the Appendix, Part A.
