HPME Graduate Programs Rated Highly by StudentsIn the spring of 2002, the School of Graduate Studies conducted the University of Toronto Graduate Student In-Program Survey among its graduate students. This Survey was sponsored by the Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) Consortium, a not-for-profit organization based in Pennsylvania. The mission of HEDS is to assist institutions of higher learning in planning, management and institutional research. The HEDS Survey was designed to solicit graduate students' opinions on their universities, the programs in which they are enrolled, their research and educational experiences, university resources, funding, quality of student life, and various other topics. The survey involved a sample of students randomly selected from all graduate programs at U of T. In all, 2,843 individuals were selected from the total 2001-2002 graduate student body (N=10,202; approximately 28%). Of those surveyed, 1,883 returned valid forms - a 66 percent response rate. A total of 30 students from HPME participated - 9 from the PhD program, 14 from a Masters program and 7 from the MHSc program. The following chart summarizes the ratings of HPME respondents to the academic quality of their programs:
