Abstract
Contained in this letter is a survey of Department of
Defense full-time, fully funded graduate and undergraduate education
programs for which over $170 million was spent in fiscal year 1973.
Each military service has a program in which officers are selected to
attend accredited civilian institutions or military-operated
postgraduate schools as full-time students. The officers selected
pursue courses lending to a master's or doctorate degree while
receiving full pay and allowances, tuition, travel, books, and other
related expenses. Although the overall ratio of officers with
doctorates to validated positions did not appear to be excessive,
there were imbalances in the ratios in certain disciplines. In
conclusion the services are not adequately controlling participation
in the graduate education programs. e.'he Army and Navy are permitting
officers to enroll in disciplines having no validated requirements or
in disciplines where there is a sufficient number of officers with
advanced degrees already available. Statistical tables related to the
text are included.
