Science and Engineering Doctorates
As the number of research doctorates awarded in the US continues a steady upward trend with an average annual growth of 3.4%, science and engineering fields are leading the way. Since the mid-1970s, the number of science and engineering doctorates has doubled, according to a National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics report. Nearly three-quarters of all research doctorates awarded in 2012 were in science and engineering fields. More than 8,400 students received engineering doctorates in 2012.
