Wright State has six doctoral programs in biomedical sciences, computer science and engineering, engineering, environmental sciences, clinical psychology and human factors and industrial/organizational psychology. “This is a measure of faculty excellence, and we are very pleased to have an external agency rate our faculty to be so highly productive,” said Jay Thomas, Ph.D., dean of the Wright State University School of Graduate Studies. DePaul University ranked first, San Diego State second and Bryn Mawr third in the small research university category. Harvard was first for large research universities. “This shows we can compete nationally both with large state schools such as San Diego State and with prestigious private colleges such as Bryn Mawr,” said Thomas. The for-profit company Academic Analytics developed a Faculty Scholarship Productivity (FSP) Index based on a set of statistical algorithms developed by Lawrence Martin, graduate dean at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The 2005 FSP index of scholarly output covered nearly 7,300 Ph.D. programs involving 178,000 faculty members at 354 institutions throughout the country.
