Abstract
This study examines department-level effects of collaboration in graduate programs on students’ doctoral experiences and the broader departmental environment. The analysis is based on the survey responses of more than 2,400 doctoral students and faculty from ninety-eight research universities in the United States. The findings suggest clearly salutary effects of collaborative context on doctoral students’ preparation for research careers and on the department’s environment for academic work.Keywords
