Languages and Literatures Other Than English
HDS-1 Departments and Faculty Members in Languages and Literatures other than English, by Carnegie Classification and Highest Degree Offered,† Fall 2012
* These values should not be compared directly with 2007 data since the departments included in the sample changed.
† When we added Classical Studies to the second round of the survey, we found that some departments that had been classified as Languages Literatures Other Than English (LLE) in the first round were more appropriately classified as Classical Studies. Data for these departments are now included in Classics. (In parentheses and in purple), we show the number of departments and faculty members inclusive of those departments now classified as Classical Studies. All other data presented in this section exclude those departments. All tests for statistically significant changes were conducted using only the departments that were classified as LLE in both HDS-1 and HDS-2.

Instructor of Record for Introductory Undergraduate Courses in Languages & Literatures Other Than English in HDS-1 Departments, Fall 2012 Term
* Proportion is significantly different from Primarily Research (for Carnegie Classification) or from Doctorate (for Highest Degree Offered) or from Public (for Form of Control) at the 5% level.
** Proportion is significantly different from all other disciplines combined at the 5% level. We used regression analysis for these tests with a binary (0-1) variable for the level of interest. If the coefficient for the binary variable differed significantly from 0, then the interpretation from regression is that the discipline differs from all other levels combined.
Statistical significance depends on a number of factors, not solely the absolute difference between two values. While differences that are not marked as significant may seem to be the same size as, or even larger than, those marked as significant, they are not statistically significant. The most likely factors contributing to the lack of significance when the absolute difference seems “large enough” are a smaller sample size or a larger variation within that discipline.
