INTRODUCTIONWelcome to the 24th edition of the Annual Report of GraduateEducation at UCLA! This Annual Report describes the activitiesof the UCLA Graduate Division, provides information about thegraduate programs, graduate students, postdoctoral and visitingscholars, and highlights some of the issues of concern during the2001-2002 academic year.The organization of graduate education at UCLA is somewhatunique compared to other institutions. The Graduate Divisionoverseas all graduate programs except those leading to the “firstprofessional degree”, specifically, the DDS degree and Post DDScertificate in the School of Dentistry, the LLM and JD degrees in theSchool of Law, and the MD degree in the School of Medicine. TheGraduate Division relates to all areas of the campus including thegraduate programs under the College of Letters and Sciences, theMS and PhD programs in the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine,and the academic and professional programs in the followingprofessional schools: Anderson Graduate School of Management,Arts & Architecture, Graduate School of Education and InformationStudies, Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science,Nursing, Public Health, Public Policy and Social Research, andTheater, Film and Television. However, the joint appointmentof the Dean as the Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies includesresponsibility for issues affecting graduate education for all sectorsof the UCLA campus. Therefore, the presentation of the datain this Annual Report includes, where appropriate, data on allgraduate programs, whether part of the Graduate Division or not.Throughout the report, we have indicated whether the data refersto all graduate programs or specifically to those monitored by theGraduate Division.UCLA GRADUATE PROGRAMS ANNUAL REPORT 2001-2002The 2001-02 Annual Report is intended to summarize events of thepast year, to present trends and to define issues and problems facinggraduate education at UCLA. It is not intended to be an exhaustivepresentation of all available data, but is instead focused on selectedmajor indicators. We hope that the 2001-02 Annual Report willbe used, by those who manage graduate education, as well as inindividual graduate programs, to stimulate further analysis of thedata and discussions of issues throughout the community of thoseinterested in graduate education.Any comments are welcomed, and may be addressed to: Angela James,PhD, Assistant Dean Academic Initiatives, Director of InstitutionalResearch and Information Services, 1237 Murphy Hall, Box 951419,Los Angeles, CA 90095 or via email: ajames@gdnet.ucla.edu.Introduction
