Data & Resources

CRA Bulletin: a source for reports and other information on CS/CE student and faculty demographics, salaries, R&D, and the IT workforce.

Computer science degree production data from the National Science Foundation. See also the Taulbee Survey, below.

Forsythe List: Contact information and links to the webpages of North American departments that grant Ph.D.s in fields related to computing research.

National Research Council Study of Ph.D. Programs in Computer Science. From this study, CRA has assembled a database of CS information, allowing users to rank 108 CS Ph.D. programs based on any of 20 characteristics. All information on these pages was derived from a National Research Council study entitled Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States: Continuity and Change (study, 1993; release 1995).

CRA Surveys:

CRA Taulbee Survey is the principal source of information on the enrollment, production, and employment of Ph.D.'s in CS & CE and in providing salary and demographic data for faculty in CS & CE.

Articles on long-term trends:

Female Students and Faculty (updated July 2007)

CRA Departmental Profiles Survey was a survey of data on budgets, staff support, space, faculty teaching loads, and graduate student support in U.S. and Canadian Ph.D. granting departments of computer science and engineering. The survey was discontinued in 2001 and questions from it have been added to the Taulbee Survey. Results from the 2000 and 1998 Profiles Surveys are available.
