The most recent national survey by the Council of Graduate Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders (1995) determined that a total of 115 doctoral degrees were awarded during the 1993–94 academic year by the 130 reporting doctoral programs (audiology, speech-language pathology, speech and hearing science). Although this number represented an increase of five over the previous survey year (1991–1992), it was still the second lowest total in the 13-year history of the survey. These data appear to suggest that the reporting programs are graduating fewer than two doctoral students each year.
