  14. Other attrition data in our upcoming book: Attrition rates by broad fields, disciplines, institution type, and cohort sizes. Components of early attrition at the aggregate level and by broad fields. Components of Overall Early Attrition for Year 1 through Year 4 since Entering Doctoral Study Council of Graduate Schools www.cgsnet.org

  15. Summary • Completion and attrition rates vary across broad fields and across disciplines within a broad field. • In general, Engineering and Life Sciences disciplines have higher completion rates and Humanities have lower completion rates than other broad fields. • The rate of completion continues to increase in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) disciplines from years 7-10 suggesting that completion in these broad fields continues beyond year 10. • There is little difference in completion rates by institution type or by cohort sizes at the aggregate level. Across fields, differences sometimes become more evident. • Early attrition rates increase faster than later attrition rates. Council of Graduate Schools www.cgsnet.org
