2008-2009 Taulbee Survey
Undergraduate CS EnrollmentContinues to Rise Doctoral Production DeclinesBy Stuart Zweben
The CRA Taulbee Survey1 is conducted annually by the Computing Research Association to document trends in student enrollment degree production employment of graduates and faculty salaries in PhD-granting departments of computer science (CS) computer engineering (CE) and information (I)2 in the United States and Canada This article and the accompanying figures and tables present the results of the 39th annual CRA Taulbee Survey
Information is gathered during the fall Responses received by January 5 2010 are included in the analysis The period covered by the data varies from table to table Degree production and enrollment (PhD Masters and Bachelors) refer to the previous academic year (2008-09) Data for new students in all categories refer to the current academic year (2009-10) Projected student production and information on faculty salaries and demographics also refer to the current academic year Faculty salaries are those effective January 1 2010
We surveyed a total of 265 PhD-granting departments Included in this count are twenty I-school departments which we began surveying a year ago Of the 265 departments surveyed 188 returned their survey forms for a response rate of 71 This is down from last yearrsquos 73 but is still quite comprehensive (see Figure 1) and is negatively influenced by the response rates of 60 and 53 from the I departments and Canadian
departments respectively as well as the typical low response rate (40) from CE programs We had a good response rate from US CS departments (147 of 184 or 80) although it was lower than last yearrsquos 83 response for this group3
This yearrsquos report includes information about teaching loads space support staff graduate student recruiting methods and sources of research funding These questions are added to the survey every third year because the data in these areas change slowly
Departments that responded to the survey were sent preliminary results about faculty salaries in December 2009 these resultsincluded additional distributional information not contained in this report The CRA Board views this as a benefit of participating in the survey
We thank all respondents who completed this years questionnaire Departments that participated are listed at the end of this article
PhD Degree Production Enrollments and Employment(Tables 1-8)
For the first time since 2001-02 total PhD production among the responding departments declined last year For the periodbetween July 2008 and June 2009 production was 1747 (Table1) a 69 decrease from last year If the I degrees are eliminated from consideration the decline is 83 and if computer science PhDs only are considered the decline is 78 (see Tables 2 and 3)
A decline was predicted in earlier Taulbee Survey reports However economic conditions may have exacerbated the extent of the current decline as some students choose to take longer to graduate when the job market is weak There also were fewer departments reporting this year but those who did not tended to be departments with small numbers of doctoral graduates
This yearrsquos production of 1747 is well below the 2107 predicted last year The ldquooptimism ratiordquo defined as the actual number divided by the predicted number was 083 much worse thanlast yearrsquos 090 Departments notoriously over-predict the number of PhD graduates Next year they predict 2009 graduates fewer than they predicted last year While normally we should expect to see a continued decline in the production during 2009-10 the delayed graduations this past year will affect next yearrsquos results
The number of new students passing thesis candidacy exams (most but not all departments have such exams) rose only 1 this year When the I departments are subtracted there was no longer an increase The overall number of students passing the qualifier dropped slightly more than 3 Without I departments the decrease was slightly over 4
The total number of new PhD students overall (Table 5) is about the same as last year following a 10 increase reported last year On a per-department basis the numbers also held steady as was the case last year If only computer science doctoral students are considered there is a slight decline but that is due to the decline from Canadian schools whose data are more volatile due to the relatively small number of departments reporting
Figure 3 shows a graphical view of the pipeline for computer science programs The data in this graph are normalized by the number of departments reporting The graph offsets the qualifier data by one year from the data for new students and offsets the graduation data by five years from the data for new students These data have been useful in estimating the timing of changes in production rates including this yearrsquos decline
Table 5a reports the data for new students in fall 2009 from outside North America US computer science departments have a larger percentage of new students from outside North America this year than they did last year (603 vs 556 last year) When all departments are considered the increase was to 591 this year from 540 last year and 548 the previous year
Figure 4 shows the employment trend of new PhDs in academia and industry and the proportion of those going to academia who took positions in departments other than PhD-granting CSCE departments Table 4 shows a more detailed breakdown of the employment data for new PhDs Largely due to economic conditions there was a noticeable shift in the sector of employment for 2008-09 graduates Whereas 566 of 2007-08 doctoral graduates went into industry only 471 of 2008-09 graduates did so A similar number of graduates took tenure-track jobs in 2008-09 as did in 2007-08 However many more graduates went into academic positions as researchers and post-doctoral employees in 2008-09 The new NSF Computing Innovation Fellows program had a lot to do with supporting this shift In aggregate academic employment comprised nearly 36 of the total in 2008-09 much higher than the 30 figure from last year
The unemployment rate for new PhDs remains approximately1 The proportion of PhD graduates who were reported taking positions outside of North America among those whose employment is known rose to 99 from 92 last year It is back to its level from two years ago
Table 4 also indicates the areas of specialty of new CSCE PhDsYear-to-year fluctuations among these data are common and multi-year trends are difficult to discern This year more doctoral graduates specialized in architecture information science and information assurancesecurity while a smaller proportion specialized in databasesinformation retrieval software engineering operating systems and theoryalgorithms A large number of graduates were reported as having their degree in some area not specified
Gender and ethnicity characteristics of enrolled doctoral students are similar to those of a year ago
Masters and Bachelors Degree Production and Enrollments (Tables 9-16)
This section reports data about enrollment and degree production for Masterrsquos and Bachelorrsquos programs in the doctoral granting departments Although the absolute number of degrees and students enrolled reported herein only reflect departments that offer the doctoral degree the trends observed in the masterrsquos and bachelorrsquos data from these departments tend to strongly reflect trends in the larger population of programs that offer such degrees
At the masterrsquos degree level production declined 52 in 2008-09 to 9483 from last yearrsquos 9998 (Tables 9b-11b) The decline in CS departments was 67 This decline is consistent with last yearrsquos observation of lower enrollments in masterrsquos programs although not consistent with the departmentsrsquo own predictions of higher production Masterrsquos degree production also declined among I school departments but increased in CE departments
There was less than a 1 change in the proportion of female graduates among CS masterrsquos recipients in 2008-09 (221 vs 212 the previous year) and an overall 1 increase among total masterrsquos recipients due primarily to an increase in I school department graduates in fact for the past few years there has been little change in the gender balance among masterrsquos recipients A higher fraction of the recipients were non-resident aliens in 2008-09 (622 vs 558 the previous year in CS and 552 vs 495 the previous year overall) and this continues a trend toward an larger international graduating class and correspondingly fewer US-resident white graduates among masterrsquos recipients Other ethnicity characteristics showed little change but the fraction of masterrsquos graduates in these other categories is small
The number of new masterrsquos students overall (Table 13) held steady this year at 7593 though there was a slight increase (less than 2) in the number of new students in computer science programs A similar observation can be made for total masterrsquos program enrollment This suggests that future masterrsquos degree production will not change much in the short term
Overall bachelorrsquos degree production in 2009 was down 12from that in 2008 Bachelorrsquos degree production in US
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends
48)
Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

2008-2009 Taulbee Survey
Undergraduate CS EnrollmentContinues to Rise Doctoral Production DeclinesBy Stuart Zweben
The CRA Taulbee Survey1 is conducted annually by the Computing Research Association to document trends in student enrollment degree production employment of graduates and faculty salaries in PhD-granting departments of computer science (CS) computer engineering (CE) and information (I)2 in the United States and Canada This article and the accompanying figures and tables present the results of the 39th annual CRA Taulbee Survey
Information is gathered during the fall Responses received by January 5 2010 are included in the analysis The period covered by the data varies from table to table Degree production and enrollment (PhD Masters and Bachelors) refer to the previous academic year (2008-09) Data for new students in all categories refer to the current academic year (2009-10) Projected student production and information on faculty salaries and demographics also refer to the current academic year Faculty salaries are those effective January 1 2010
We surveyed a total of 265 PhD-granting departments Included in this count are twenty I-school departments which we began surveying a year ago Of the 265 departments surveyed 188 returned their survey forms for a response rate of 71 This is down from last yearrsquos 73 but is still quite comprehensive (see Figure 1) and is negatively influenced by the response rates of 60 and 53 from the I departments and Canadian
departments respectively as well as the typical low response rate (40) from CE programs We had a good response rate from US CS departments (147 of 184 or 80) although it was lower than last yearrsquos 83 response for this group3
This yearrsquos report includes information about teaching loads space support staff graduate student recruiting methods and sources of research funding These questions are added to the survey every third year because the data in these areas change slowly
Departments that responded to the survey were sent preliminary results about faculty salaries in December 2009 these resultsincluded additional distributional information not contained in this report The CRA Board views this as a benefit of participating in the survey
We thank all respondents who completed this years questionnaire Departments that participated are listed at the end of this article
PhD Degree Production Enrollments and Employment(Tables 1-8)
For the first time since 2001-02 total PhD production among the responding departments declined last year For the periodbetween July 2008 and June 2009 production was 1747 (Table1) a 69 decrease from last year If the I degrees are eliminated from consideration the decline is 83 and if computer science PhDs only are considered the decline is 78 (see Tables 2 and 3)
A decline was predicted in earlier Taulbee Survey reports However economic conditions may have exacerbated the extent of the current decline as some students choose to take longer to graduate when the job market is weak There also were fewer departments reporting this year but those who did not tended to be departments with small numbers of doctoral graduates
This yearrsquos production of 1747 is well below the 2107 predicted last year The ldquooptimism ratiordquo defined as the actual number divided by the predicted number was 083 much worse thanlast yearrsquos 090 Departments notoriously over-predict the number of PhD graduates Next year they predict 2009 graduates fewer than they predicted last year While normally we should expect to see a continued decline in the production during 2009-10 the delayed graduations this past year will affect next yearrsquos results
The number of new students passing thesis candidacy exams (most but not all departments have such exams) rose only 1 this year When the I departments are subtracted there was no longer an increase The overall number of students passing the qualifier dropped slightly more than 3 Without I departments the decrease was slightly over 4
The total number of new PhD students overall (Table 5) is about the same as last year following a 10 increase reported last year On a per-department basis the numbers also held steady as was the case last year If only computer science doctoral students are considered there is a slight decline but that is due to the decline from Canadian schools whose data are more volatile due to the relatively small number of departments reporting
Figure 3 shows a graphical view of the pipeline for computer science programs The data in this graph are normalized by the number of departments reporting The graph offsets the qualifier data by one year from the data for new students and offsets the graduation data by five years from the data for new students These data have been useful in estimating the timing of changes in production rates including this yearrsquos decline
Table 5a reports the data for new students in fall 2009 from outside North America US computer science departments have a larger percentage of new students from outside North America this year than they did last year (603 vs 556 last year) When all departments are considered the increase was to 591 this year from 540 last year and 548 the previous year
Figure 4 shows the employment trend of new PhDs in academia and industry and the proportion of those going to academia who took positions in departments other than PhD-granting CSCE departments Table 4 shows a more detailed breakdown of the employment data for new PhDs Largely due to economic conditions there was a noticeable shift in the sector of employment for 2008-09 graduates Whereas 566 of 2007-08 doctoral graduates went into industry only 471 of 2008-09 graduates did so A similar number of graduates took tenure-track jobs in 2008-09 as did in 2007-08 However many more graduates went into academic positions as researchers and post-doctoral employees in 2008-09 The new NSF Computing Innovation Fellows program had a lot to do with supporting this shift In aggregate academic employment comprised nearly 36 of the total in 2008-09 much higher than the 30 figure from last year
The unemployment rate for new PhDs remains approximately1 The proportion of PhD graduates who were reported taking positions outside of North America among those whose employment is known rose to 99 from 92 last year It is back to its level from two years ago
Table 4 also indicates the areas of specialty of new CSCE PhDsYear-to-year fluctuations among these data are common and multi-year trends are difficult to discern This year more doctoral graduates specialized in architecture information science and information assurancesecurity while a smaller proportion specialized in databasesinformation retrieval software engineering operating systems and theoryalgorithms A large number of graduates were reported as having their degree in some area not specified
Gender and ethnicity characteristics of enrolled doctoral students are similar to those of a year ago
Masters and Bachelors Degree Production and Enrollments (Tables 9-16)
This section reports data about enrollment and degree production for Masterrsquos and Bachelorrsquos programs in the doctoral granting departments Although the absolute number of degrees and students enrolled reported herein only reflect departments that offer the doctoral degree the trends observed in the masterrsquos and bachelorrsquos data from these departments tend to strongly reflect trends in the larger population of programs that offer such degrees
At the masterrsquos degree level production declined 52 in 2008-09 to 9483 from last yearrsquos 9998 (Tables 9b-11b) The decline in CS departments was 67 This decline is consistent with last yearrsquos observation of lower enrollments in masterrsquos programs although not consistent with the departmentsrsquo own predictions of higher production Masterrsquos degree production also declined among I school departments but increased in CE departments
There was less than a 1 change in the proportion of female graduates among CS masterrsquos recipients in 2008-09 (221 vs 212 the previous year) and an overall 1 increase among total masterrsquos recipients due primarily to an increase in I school department graduates in fact for the past few years there has been little change in the gender balance among masterrsquos recipients A higher fraction of the recipients were non-resident aliens in 2008-09 (622 vs 558 the previous year in CS and 552 vs 495 the previous year overall) and this continues a trend toward an larger international graduating class and correspondingly fewer US-resident white graduates among masterrsquos recipients Other ethnicity characteristics showed little change but the fraction of masterrsquos graduates in these other categories is small
The number of new masterrsquos students overall (Table 13) held steady this year at 7593 though there was a slight increase (less than 2) in the number of new students in computer science programs A similar observation can be made for total masterrsquos program enrollment This suggests that future masterrsquos degree production will not change much in the short term
Overall bachelorrsquos degree production in 2009 was down 12from that in 2008 Bachelorrsquos degree production in US
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends
48)
Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

departments respectively as well as the typical low response rate (40) from CE programs We had a good response rate from US CS departments (147 of 184 or 80) although it was lower than last yearrsquos 83 response for this group3
This yearrsquos report includes information about teaching loads space support staff graduate student recruiting methods and sources of research funding These questions are added to the survey every third year because the data in these areas change slowly
Departments that responded to the survey were sent preliminary results about faculty salaries in December 2009 these resultsincluded additional distributional information not contained in this report The CRA Board views this as a benefit of participating in the survey
We thank all respondents who completed this years questionnaire Departments that participated are listed at the end of this article
PhD Degree Production Enrollments and Employment(Tables 1-8)
For the first time since 2001-02 total PhD production among the responding departments declined last year For the periodbetween July 2008 and June 2009 production was 1747 (Table1) a 69 decrease from last year If the I degrees are eliminated from consideration the decline is 83 and if computer science PhDs only are considered the decline is 78 (see Tables 2 and 3)
A decline was predicted in earlier Taulbee Survey reports However economic conditions may have exacerbated the extent of the current decline as some students choose to take longer to graduate when the job market is weak There also were fewer departments reporting this year but those who did not tended to be departments with small numbers of doctoral graduates
This yearrsquos production of 1747 is well below the 2107 predicted last year The ldquooptimism ratiordquo defined as the actual number divided by the predicted number was 083 much worse thanlast yearrsquos 090 Departments notoriously over-predict the number of PhD graduates Next year they predict 2009 graduates fewer than they predicted last year While normally we should expect to see a continued decline in the production during 2009-10 the delayed graduations this past year will affect next yearrsquos results
The number of new students passing thesis candidacy exams (most but not all departments have such exams) rose only 1 this year When the I departments are subtracted there was no longer an increase The overall number of students passing the qualifier dropped slightly more than 3 Without I departments the decrease was slightly over 4
The total number of new PhD students overall (Table 5) is about the same as last year following a 10 increase reported last year On a per-department basis the numbers also held steady as was the case last year If only computer science doctoral students are considered there is a slight decline but that is due to the decline from Canadian schools whose data are more volatile due to the relatively small number of departments reporting
Figure 3 shows a graphical view of the pipeline for computer science programs The data in this graph are normalized by the number of departments reporting The graph offsets the qualifier data by one year from the data for new students and offsets the graduation data by five years from the data for new students These data have been useful in estimating the timing of changes in production rates including this yearrsquos decline
Table 5a reports the data for new students in fall 2009 from outside North America US computer science departments have a larger percentage of new students from outside North America this year than they did last year (603 vs 556 last year) When all departments are considered the increase was to 591 this year from 540 last year and 548 the previous year
Figure 4 shows the employment trend of new PhDs in academia and industry and the proportion of those going to academia who took positions in departments other than PhD-granting CSCE departments Table 4 shows a more detailed breakdown of the employment data for new PhDs Largely due to economic conditions there was a noticeable shift in the sector of employment for 2008-09 graduates Whereas 566 of 2007-08 doctoral graduates went into industry only 471 of 2008-09 graduates did so A similar number of graduates took tenure-track jobs in 2008-09 as did in 2007-08 However many more graduates went into academic positions as researchers and post-doctoral employees in 2008-09 The new NSF Computing Innovation Fellows program had a lot to do with supporting this shift In aggregate academic employment comprised nearly 36 of the total in 2008-09 much higher than the 30 figure from last year
The unemployment rate for new PhDs remains approximately1 The proportion of PhD graduates who were reported taking positions outside of North America among those whose employment is known rose to 99 from 92 last year It is back to its level from two years ago
Table 4 also indicates the areas of specialty of new CSCE PhDsYear-to-year fluctuations among these data are common and multi-year trends are difficult to discern This year more doctoral graduates specialized in architecture information science and information assurancesecurity while a smaller proportion specialized in databasesinformation retrieval software engineering operating systems and theoryalgorithms A large number of graduates were reported as having their degree in some area not specified
Gender and ethnicity characteristics of enrolled doctoral students are similar to those of a year ago
Masters and Bachelors Degree Production and Enrollments (Tables 9-16)
This section reports data about enrollment and degree production for Masterrsquos and Bachelorrsquos programs in the doctoral granting departments Although the absolute number of degrees and students enrolled reported herein only reflect departments that offer the doctoral degree the trends observed in the masterrsquos and bachelorrsquos data from these departments tend to strongly reflect trends in the larger population of programs that offer such degrees
At the masterrsquos degree level production declined 52 in 2008-09 to 9483 from last yearrsquos 9998 (Tables 9b-11b) The decline in CS departments was 67 This decline is consistent with last yearrsquos observation of lower enrollments in masterrsquos programs although not consistent with the departmentsrsquo own predictions of higher production Masterrsquos degree production also declined among I school departments but increased in CE departments
There was less than a 1 change in the proportion of female graduates among CS masterrsquos recipients in 2008-09 (221 vs 212 the previous year) and an overall 1 increase among total masterrsquos recipients due primarily to an increase in I school department graduates in fact for the past few years there has been little change in the gender balance among masterrsquos recipients A higher fraction of the recipients were non-resident aliens in 2008-09 (622 vs 558 the previous year in CS and 552 vs 495 the previous year overall) and this continues a trend toward an larger international graduating class and correspondingly fewer US-resident white graduates among masterrsquos recipients Other ethnicity characteristics showed little change but the fraction of masterrsquos graduates in these other categories is small
The number of new masterrsquos students overall (Table 13) held steady this year at 7593 though there was a slight increase (less than 2) in the number of new students in computer science programs A similar observation can be made for total masterrsquos program enrollment This suggests that future masterrsquos degree production will not change much in the short term
Overall bachelorrsquos degree production in 2009 was down 12from that in 2008 Bachelorrsquos degree production in US
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
This yearrsquos production of 1747 is well below the 2107 predicted last year The ldquooptimism ratiordquo defined as the actual number divided by the predicted number was 083 much worse thanlast yearrsquos 090 Departments notoriously over-predict the number of PhD graduates Next year they predict 2009 graduates fewer than they predicted last year While normally we should expect to see a continued decline in the production during 2009-10 the delayed graduations this past year will affect next yearrsquos results
The number of new students passing thesis candidacy exams (most but not all departments have such exams) rose only 1 this year When the I departments are subtracted there was no longer an increase The overall number of students passing the qualifier dropped slightly more than 3 Without I departments the decrease was slightly over 4
The total number of new PhD students overall (Table 5) is about the same as last year following a 10 increase reported last year On a per-department basis the numbers also held steady as was the case last year If only computer science doctoral students are considered there is a slight decline but that is due to the decline from Canadian schools whose data are more volatile due to the relatively small number of departments reporting
Figure 3 shows a graphical view of the pipeline for computer science programs The data in this graph are normalized by the number of departments reporting The graph offsets the qualifier data by one year from the data for new students and offsets the graduation data by five years from the data for new students These data have been useful in estimating the timing of changes in production rates including this yearrsquos decline
Table 5a reports the data for new students in fall 2009 from outside North America US computer science departments have a larger percentage of new students from outside North America this year than they did last year (603 vs 556 last year) When all departments are considered the increase was to 591 this year from 540 last year and 548 the previous year
Figure 4 shows the employment trend of new PhDs in academia and industry and the proportion of those going to academia who took positions in departments other than PhD-granting CSCE departments Table 4 shows a more detailed breakdown of the employment data for new PhDs Largely due to economic conditions there was a noticeable shift in the sector of employment for 2008-09 graduates Whereas 566 of 2007-08 doctoral graduates went into industry only 471 of 2008-09 graduates did so A similar number of graduates took tenure-track jobs in 2008-09 as did in 2007-08 However many more graduates went into academic positions as researchers and post-doctoral employees in 2008-09 The new NSF Computing Innovation Fellows program had a lot to do with supporting this shift In aggregate academic employment comprised nearly 36 of the total in 2008-09 much higher than the 30 figure from last year
The unemployment rate for new PhDs remains approximately1 The proportion of PhD graduates who were reported taking positions outside of North America among those whose employment is known rose to 99 from 92 last year It is back to its level from two years ago
Table 4 also indicates the areas of specialty of new CSCE PhDsYear-to-year fluctuations among these data are common and multi-year trends are difficult to discern This year more doctoral graduates specialized in architecture information science and information assurancesecurity while a smaller proportion specialized in databasesinformation retrieval software engineering operating systems and theoryalgorithms A large number of graduates were reported as having their degree in some area not specified
Gender and ethnicity characteristics of enrolled doctoral students are similar to those of a year ago
Masters and Bachelors Degree Production and Enrollments (Tables 9-16)
This section reports data about enrollment and degree production for Masterrsquos and Bachelorrsquos programs in the doctoral granting departments Although the absolute number of degrees and students enrolled reported herein only reflect departments that offer the doctoral degree the trends observed in the masterrsquos and bachelorrsquos data from these departments tend to strongly reflect trends in the larger population of programs that offer such degrees
At the masterrsquos degree level production declined 52 in 2008-09 to 9483 from last yearrsquos 9998 (Tables 9b-11b) The decline in CS departments was 67 This decline is consistent with last yearrsquos observation of lower enrollments in masterrsquos programs although not consistent with the departmentsrsquo own predictions of higher production Masterrsquos degree production also declined among I school departments but increased in CE departments
There was less than a 1 change in the proportion of female graduates among CS masterrsquos recipients in 2008-09 (221 vs 212 the previous year) and an overall 1 increase among total masterrsquos recipients due primarily to an increase in I school department graduates in fact for the past few years there has been little change in the gender balance among masterrsquos recipients A higher fraction of the recipients were non-resident aliens in 2008-09 (622 vs 558 the previous year in CS and 552 vs 495 the previous year overall) and this continues a trend toward an larger international graduating class and correspondingly fewer US-resident white graduates among masterrsquos recipients Other ethnicity characteristics showed little change but the fraction of masterrsquos graduates in these other categories is small
The number of new masterrsquos students overall (Table 13) held steady this year at 7593 though there was a slight increase (less than 2) in the number of new students in computer science programs A similar observation can be made for total masterrsquos program enrollment This suggests that future masterrsquos degree production will not change much in the short term
Overall bachelorrsquos degree production in 2009 was down 12from that in 2008 Bachelorrsquos degree production in US
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends
48)
Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
Figure 4 shows the employment trend of new PhDs in academia and industry and the proportion of those going to academia who took positions in departments other than PhD-granting CSCE departments Table 4 shows a more detailed breakdown of the employment data for new PhDs Largely due to economic conditions there was a noticeable shift in the sector of employment for 2008-09 graduates Whereas 566 of 2007-08 doctoral graduates went into industry only 471 of 2008-09 graduates did so A similar number of graduates took tenure-track jobs in 2008-09 as did in 2007-08 However many more graduates went into academic positions as researchers and post-doctoral employees in 2008-09 The new NSF Computing Innovation Fellows program had a lot to do with supporting this shift In aggregate academic employment comprised nearly 36 of the total in 2008-09 much higher than the 30 figure from last year
The unemployment rate for new PhDs remains approximately1 The proportion of PhD graduates who were reported taking positions outside of North America among those whose employment is known rose to 99 from 92 last year It is back to its level from two years ago
Table 4 also indicates the areas of specialty of new CSCE PhDsYear-to-year fluctuations among these data are common and multi-year trends are difficult to discern This year more doctoral graduates specialized in architecture information science and information assurancesecurity while a smaller proportion specialized in databasesinformation retrieval software engineering operating systems and theoryalgorithms A large number of graduates were reported as having their degree in some area not specified
Gender and ethnicity characteristics of enrolled doctoral students are similar to those of a year ago
Masters and Bachelors Degree Production and Enrollments (Tables 9-16)
This section reports data about enrollment and degree production for Masterrsquos and Bachelorrsquos programs in the doctoral granting departments Although the absolute number of degrees and students enrolled reported herein only reflect departments that offer the doctoral degree the trends observed in the masterrsquos and bachelorrsquos data from these departments tend to strongly reflect trends in the larger population of programs that offer such degrees
At the masterrsquos degree level production declined 52 in 2008-09 to 9483 from last yearrsquos 9998 (Tables 9b-11b) The decline in CS departments was 67 This decline is consistent with last yearrsquos observation of lower enrollments in masterrsquos programs although not consistent with the departmentsrsquo own predictions of higher production Masterrsquos degree production also declined among I school departments but increased in CE departments
There was less than a 1 change in the proportion of female graduates among CS masterrsquos recipients in 2008-09 (221 vs 212 the previous year) and an overall 1 increase among total masterrsquos recipients due primarily to an increase in I school department graduates in fact for the past few years there has been little change in the gender balance among masterrsquos recipients A higher fraction of the recipients were non-resident aliens in 2008-09 (622 vs 558 the previous year in CS and 552 vs 495 the previous year overall) and this continues a trend toward an larger international graduating class and correspondingly fewer US-resident white graduates among masterrsquos recipients Other ethnicity characteristics showed little change but the fraction of masterrsquos graduates in these other categories is small
The number of new masterrsquos students overall (Table 13) held steady this year at 7593 though there was a slight increase (less than 2) in the number of new students in computer science programs A similar observation can be made for total masterrsquos program enrollment This suggests that future masterrsquos degree production will not change much in the short term
Overall bachelorrsquos degree production in 2009 was down 12from that in 2008 Bachelorrsquos degree production in US
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46

Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
This section reports data about enrollment and degree production for Masterrsquos and Bachelorrsquos programs in the doctoral granting departments Although the absolute number of degrees and students enrolled reported herein only reflect departments that offer the doctoral degree the trends observed in the masterrsquos and bachelorrsquos data from these departments tend to strongly reflect trends in the larger population of programs that offer such degrees
At the masterrsquos degree level production declined 52 in 2008-09 to 9483 from last yearrsquos 9998 (Tables 9b-11b) The decline in CS departments was 67 This decline is consistent with last yearrsquos observation of lower enrollments in masterrsquos programs although not consistent with the departmentsrsquo own predictions of higher production Masterrsquos degree production also declined among I school departments but increased in CE departments
There was less than a 1 change in the proportion of female graduates among CS masterrsquos recipients in 2008-09 (221 vs 212 the previous year) and an overall 1 increase among total masterrsquos recipients due primarily to an increase in I school department graduates in fact for the past few years there has been little change in the gender balance among masterrsquos recipients A higher fraction of the recipients were non-resident aliens in 2008-09 (622 vs 558 the previous year in CS and 552 vs 495 the previous year overall) and this continues a trend toward an larger international graduating class and correspondingly fewer US-resident white graduates among masterrsquos recipients Other ethnicity characteristics showed little change but the fraction of masterrsquos graduates in these other categories is small
The number of new masterrsquos students overall (Table 13) held steady this year at 7593 though there was a slight increase (less than 2) in the number of new students in computer science programs A similar observation can be made for total masterrsquos program enrollment This suggests that future masterrsquos degree production will not change much in the short term
Overall bachelorrsquos degree production in 2009 was down 12from that in 2008 Bachelorrsquos degree production in US
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends
48)
Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
computer science departments also was down 12 (Tables 9a-11a) These decreases are a legacy of the decline in enrollments experienced earlier this decade and also may be due in part to the decreased number of departments reporting
However the number of new students in US CS programs continues to increase (Table 14) There was an 85 increase in the number of new CS majors among US computer science departments and a 9 increase in the number of new pre-majors (students who are pursuing a curriculum for the major in computer science but as yet have not declared their official major) Total enrollment among majors and pre-majors in USCS departments increased 42 and if only majors are considered the increase is 55 over last year (Table 16) This is the second straight year of these increases and should result in an increased number of bachelorrsquos degrees produced in these departments within another two years
In Canada the number of new CS majors increased by 8 but the total number of CS majors declined by over 7 Since relatively few Canadian departments participated these trends are influenced significantly by the specific departments reporting However since the number of new CS majors in Canada increased for the second straight year it appears that Canadian CS departments are headed for increased bachelorrsquos degree production as well
Because of the newness of the I-school data it is not appropriate to try to discern any enrollment patterns at this time Computer engineering enrollment data appear comparable to those from last year in aggregate although there are more majors and fewer pre-majors this year
Gender and ethnicity data show similar patterns this year as last year (Tables 9a and 10a) Only 113 of bachelorrsquos graduates in CS were women and 689 were white The latter figure is an increase of 3 percentage points over last year countered by slight declines in most of the other ethnicity categories
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons

Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
Faculty Demographics (Tables 17-23)
For the first time in recent memory actual faculty size declined this year both in terms of total faculty as well as tenure-track faculty Tenure-track faculty totals are down 67 from last year and total faculty is down 15 (Table 17) These declines are mitigated by the decrease in the number of departments reporting particularly with respect to Canadian departmentsAmong US CS departments the overall decline was 3 but the top 24 departments experienced 1-3 increases in the number of tenure-track faculty while lower ranked departments experienced 4-5 declines in their tenure-track faculty size (Table 18a) In aggregate US CS departments overestimated their faculty size by more than 6
There was a 77 increase in the number of postdocs and a 21 increase in the number of teaching faculty among the reporting departments At US CS departments the number of postdocs was fairly constant among top 24 departments with significant increases at the lower rankings while for teaching faculty there were at least 25 increases in all the ranking strata At least some of the increase in postdocs undoubtedly is due to the new Computing Innovation Fellows program (information at httpcifellowsorg )
Table 18b shows the clear effects of the economy on faculty hiring this past year Whereas in 2007-08 there were 505 reported tenure-track faculty vacancies in the reporting departments in 2008-09 there were only 254 roughly a 50 decrease Among US CS departments the decline was 38 and among US I departments the decline was over 60 Among all departments the fraction of these positions that were filled rose from 267 in 2007-08 to 354 in 2008-09 This likely is due to a combination of the fact that there were fewer positions available and that in 2007-08 halts in the hiring process took place in mid-year that affected the ability of several departments to complete searches that had begun
The fraction of women hired into tenure-track positions rose from 219 in 2007-08 to 231 in 2008-09 close to its 239 level
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends
48)
Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
of 2006-07 This yearrsquos level of tenure-track faculty hiring is again slightly above the fraction of new PhDs who were women (212) The fraction of women among new postdocs rose from 142 to 153 Again there was an increased percentage of new faculty members who are Nonresident Aliens and an increase in the percentage of Asians offset by a decreased percentage of Whites The African American percentage of new tenure-track hires this year declined from 34 to 20
There was a slight increase in the overall fraction of women at each of the tenure-track ranks (Table 21) The largest increase was at the assistant professor level where the fraction of women rose from 217 last year to 243 this year There also are more Asians and fewer Whites among current faculty at each of the tenure-track ranks this year compared with last year (Table 22)
For next year reporting departments forecast a 2 growth in tenure-track faculty This is about half the growth rate forecast last year
There was a 30 drop in the number of faculty losses this year with fewer retirements and much less movement to other positions both academic and non-academic Economic conditions and the concomitant decline in the number of open positions undoubtedly affected these statistics (Table 23)
Research Expenditures and Graduate Student Support (Tables 24-26)
Table 24-1 shows the departments total expenditure (including indirect costs or overhead as stated on project budgets) from external sources of support Table 24-2 shows the per capita expenditure where capitation is computed two ways The first is relative to the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty members The second is relative to researchers and postdocs as well as tenured and tenure-track faculty Canadian levels are shown in Canadian dollars The data indicate that the higher the ranking the more external funding is received by the department (both in total and per capita)
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
This year mean total expenditures were flat among CS departments ranked 1-12 increased in CS departments ranked 13-36 (with a 157 increase in departments ranked 25-36) and decreased by nearly 16 in departments ranked below 36 Median total expenditures were fairly flat in rank 1-12 and ranks lower than 36 with 12 to 14 increases in ranks 13-36 Among US I departments the mean rose and the median declined from last year while among Canadian departments the mean declined and the median rose
Per-capita expenditure results also were mixed this year Among US rank 1-12 CS departments both mean and median funding were flat except that using the second capitation method median funding was down 85 For rank 13-24 departments mean funding was very slightly higher (1 to 3) while median funding rose 65 using the first capitation method but dropped 87 using the second capitation method Rank 25-36 departments showed gains for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 49 for median expenditures using the second capitation method to 44 for means using the second capitation method Departments ranked lower than 36 showed declines for both capitation methods in both mean and median expenditures ranging from 73 to 118 I departments showed increases in means and flat medians while Canadian departments showed increased medians and decreased means These clearly were influenced by the specific departments reporting this year vs last year Table 25 shows the number of graduate students supported as full-time students as of fall 2009 further categorized as teaching assistants (TAs) research assistants (RAs) fellows or computer systems supporters and split between those on institutional vs external funds The number of TAs in CS departments decreased between 10 and 20 this year depending on ranking strata However departments appeared to be able to support at least as many students in total this year as last year generally through shifting TA support to either RA or fellow support
Median stipends for TAs and RAs declined at least 5 in more highly ranked US CS departments while they remained fairly
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
steady in lower ranked departments (Table 26) Entries in this table show the net amount (as of fall 2009) of an academic-year stipend for a first-year doctoral student (not including tuition or fees) Canadian stipends are shown in Canadian dollars
Faculty Salaries (Tables 27-35)
Each department was asked to report individual (but anonymous) faculty salaries if possible otherwise the department was requested to provide the minimum median mean and maximum salaries for each rank (full associate and assistant professors and non-tenure-track teaching faculty) and the number of persons at each rank The salaries are those in effect on January 1 2010 For US departments nine-month salaries are reported in US dollars For Canadian departments twelve-month salaries are reported in Canadian dollars Respondents were asked to include salary supplements such as salary monies from endowed positions
The tables contain data about ranges and measures of central tendency only Those departments reporting individual salaries were provided more comprehensive distributional information in December 2009 This year 83 of those reporting salary dataprovided salaries at the individual level
We also report salary data based on time in rank When comparing individual or departmental faculty salaries with national averages time in rank may make the analysis more meaningful We report associate professor salaries for time in rank of 7 years or less and of more than 7 years For full professors we report time in rank of 7 years or less 8-15 years and more than 15 years
The minimum and maximum of the reported salary minima (and maxima) are self-explanatory The range of salaries in a given rank among departments that reported data for that rank is the interval [minimum of the minima maximum of the maxima]The mean of the reported salary minima (maxima) in a given rank is computed by summing the departmental reported minimum (maximum) and dividing by the number of
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
departments reporting data at that rank The ldquoaverage of dept median salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual medians reported at each rank and dividing by the number of departments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true median of all the salaries Similarly average of dept mean salariesrdquo at each rank is computed by summing the individual means reported at each rank and dividing by the number ofdepartments reporting at that rank Thus it is not a true average of all the salaries
Overall US CS average salaries (Table 27) increased between 04 and 16 depending on tenure-track rank and 10 for non-tenure-track teaching faculty Assistant professor average salaries had the lowest increases this year and in general theincreases are lower than those experienced in the past few yearsfor all faculty ranks This is not surprising given the economic situation in effect when these salary increases were decided
Canadian salaries (Table 33) rose 36 to 55 among tenure-track ranks with the largest increase at the assistant professor rank and the smallest at the full professor rank Non-tenure track teaching faculty salaries for Canadian departments rose only 06 Because of the sample sizes Canadian values are affected more strongly than are US values by the particular set of schools that responded to this yearrsquos survey compared to those who responded last year
Average salaries for new PhDs (those who received their PhD last year and then joined departments as tenure-track faculty) increased 15 from those reported in last yearrsquos survey (Table 35) This is similar to the 12 increase that was observed last year for new PhDs Again this year there were too few new PhD salaries in Canadian departments to make meaningful comparisons
Additional Department Profiles Analysis
Every three years the Taulbee Survey collects data about elements of department activities that are not expected to change much from year to year Included are data about
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in
other defense sources As Table 46
Other Graduate Student Data (Tables 47-49)
Table 47 shows the factors affecting graduate student stipends
48)
Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
teaching loads sources of external funding methods of recruiting graduate students department support staff and space The most recent data about these activities were collected in the 2005-06 Taulbee Survey The results of this survey are available on the CRA web site at (httparchivecraorgstatisticssurvey0506pdf) Since I departments were not surveyed then no comparative statements can be made with previous data for these departments
Compared with three years ago mean teaching loads are slightly higher among Canadian departments and US departments ranked lower than 24 and slightly lower among US CE departments and the top 24 US CS departments (Table 36) Median teaching loads are lower in departments ranked 13-24 and are higher in departments ranked 25-36 but the same in other strata Nearly all departments allow reductions from the standard load (similar to three years ago) while about two-thirdsallow increases (somewhat less than the 73 that did so three
these increases and decreases are allowed These percentages are similar to those three years ago although in aggregate moredepartments (86 vs 76 three years ago) now allow reductions for administrative duties The inclusion of I departments in which 100 of those reporting allow reductions for administrative duties is largely responsible for this overall increase
Among US top 12 departments the most significant changes in sources of research funding are a decline in the fraction of funding from DARPA (to 131 from 216 three years ago) and increases from NIH funding (to 52 from 27) and from industry sources (to 177 from 122) Departments ranked 13-24 exhibited similar directional changes in these same categories Departments ranked 25-36 showed shifts from NSF DARPA and NIH to industry and other defense sources Departments ranked lower than 36 showed less volatility in the funding sources although they also showed decreased support
Teaching Loads (Tables 36-38)
years ago) (Table 37a ) Tables 37b and 38 show the reasons why
Sources of External Funding (Tables 39-46)
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in

Departmental Support Staff (Tables 50-52)
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
from DARPA (from 5 to 17) Computer engineering departments showed declines in DARPA DOE and state agency share of support while showing an increase in the share from
shows overall DARPA funding dropped from 108 of the total to 59 of the total while NIH and industry increased somewhat as sources of support
Canadian departments showed an increase in the proportion of their funding from NSERC from 405 to 466 and a corresponding decline in the proportion from other federal sources (from 153 to 90)
Overall each of the factors affects stipends in a smaller percentage of departments than was the case three years ago However there are differences in the specific strata For example advancement to the next stage of the graduate program and years of service each affect stipends in a greater percentage of departments ranked 1-12 and 25-36 GPA affects a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-24 and recruiting enhancements affect a greater percentage of departments ranked 13-36 Within these US CS departments ranking strata the differences typically reflect a change in only one department of the 12
Overall there is a somewhat smaller percentage of departments that use stipend enhancements and summer support as recruiting incentives as compared with three years ago (Table
The median amount of administrative staff declined in US CS departments ranked 1-24 and was comparable in other US CS and in Canadian departments Median computer support staff fell in rank 13-24 departments but rose slightly in departments ranked 25-36 Median number of research support staff fell in

top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
top 12 departments but there appeared to be slight increases in overall research support staff among other US CS departments
Median total space as well as conference room and seminar space rose in all US CS ranking strata and in Canadian departments but fell in US CE departments Research lab space rose except in US CS rank 13-24 and CE departments On the other hand instructional lab space decreased except for Canadian departments Office space changes were less consistent across the strata The CE departmentsrsquo anomaly likely is influenced by the particular departments reporting this year versus those who reported three years ago
About one quarter of departments report definite plans for increased space with most of this planned for the next two years
Concluding Observations
The fact that student interest in undergraduate computing programs continues to increase is heartening to our profession and consistent with the interests of governments in nurturing STEM(M) disciplines While we have increased worldwide participation in our graduate programs it would be helpful to also increase interest in these graduate programs among domestic graduates of our bachelorrsquos programs
The changing economic conditions that affected PhD employment this past year may continue for another year but we can hope for an economic recovery that will restore a better balance in industry vs academic employment soon Though production of new CS PhDs has declined it remains high and is forecast to continue to do so Thus both the academic and corporate sectors need to be strong so that the talents of these graduates can be used to maximal advantage

Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Rankings
For tables that group computer science departments by rank the rankings are based on information collected in the 1995 assessment of research and doctorate programs in the United States conducted by the National Research Council (NRC) [see
The top twelve schools in this ranking are Stanford Massachusetts Institute of Technology University of California (Berkeley) Carnegie Mellon Cornell Princeton University of Texas (Austin) University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) University of Washington University of Wisconsin (Madison) Harvard and California Institute of Technology All schools in this ranking participated in the survey this year
CS departments ranked 13-24 are Brown Yale University of California (Los Angeles) University of Maryland (College Park) New York University University of Massachusetts (Amherst) Rice University of Southern California University of Michigan University of California (San Diego) Columbia and University of Pennsylvania4 All schools in this ranking participated in the survey this year
CS departments ranked 25-36 are University of Chicago Purdue Rutgers Duke University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) University of Rochester State University of New York (Stony Brook) Georgia Institute of Technology University of Arizona University of California (Irvine) University of Virginia and Indiana All schools in this ranking participated in the survey this year

Acknowledgments
Betsy Bizot once again provided valuable assistance with the data collection tabulation and analysis for this survey Thanks also are due to Susanne Hambrusch and Jean Smith for their careful reading of the report and for their helpful suggestions to improve it
Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Acknowledgments
Betsy Bizot once again provided valuable assistance with the data collection tabulation and analysis for this survey Thanks also are due to Susanne Hambrusch and Jean Smith for their careful reading of the report and for their helpful suggestions to improve it
Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
Calgary Manitoba Montreal New Brunswick Ottawa Saskatchewan Toronto Waterloo and Western Ontario
Information departments participating in the survey include Drexel Indiana Penn State and Syracuse Universities and the Universites of California (Berkeley Irvine Los Angeles and Santa Cruz) Maryland (College Park and Baltimore County) Michigan Pittsburgh and Texas (Austin)
Acknowledgments
Betsy Bizot once again provided valuable assistance with the data collection tabulation and analysis for this survey Thanks also are due to Susanne Hambrusch and Jean Smith for their careful reading of the report and for their helpful suggestions to improve it
Endnotes
1 The title of the survey honors the late Orrin E Taulbee of the University of Pittsburgh who conducted these surveys for the Computer Science Board until 1984 with retrospective annual data going back to 1970
2 Information (I) programs included here are Information Science Information Systems Information Technology Informatics and related disciplines with a strong computing component In fall 2008 the first year these programs were surveyed as part of Taulbee surveys were sent to CRA members the CRA IT Deans group members and participants in the iSchools Caucus ( wwwischoolsorg )who met the criteria of granting PhDs and being located in North America Other I-programs who meet these criteria and would like to participate in the survey in future years are invited to contact surveycraorg for inclusion
3 The set of departments responding varies slightly from year to year even when the total numbers are about the same thus we must approach any trend analysis with caution
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers

Figure 7 Newly Declared CSCE Undergraduate Majors
We must be especially cautious in using the data about CE and I departments because of the low response rate
4 Although the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago were tied in the National Research Council rankings CRA made the arbitrary decision to place Pennsylvania in the second tier of schools
5 All tables with rankings Statistics sometimes are given according to departmental rank Schools are ranked only if they offer a CS degree and according to the quality of their CS program as determined by reputation Those that only offer CE or I degrees are not ranked and statistics are given on a separate line apart from the rankings
6 All ethnicity tables Ethnic breakdowns are drawn from guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education
7 All faculty tables The survey makes no distinction between faculty specializing in CS vs CE programs Every effort is made to minimize the inclusion of faculty in electrical engineering who are not computer engineers
