1. Michigan Doctoral Experience Study (MDES)

Michigan Doctoral Experience Study (MDES)

Rackham implemented the Michigan Doctoral Experience Study (MDES) to examine the doctoral-student experience over the entire trajectory of graduate study and into early career development. The goals of the study are to inform Rackham programming and policies to better meet student needs and to contribute to the scholarship on doctoral-student success.
