tucky produced seven black baccalaureate re- 

 cipients of doctoral degrees in the biological 

 sciences. 



Table 5 presents the Kentucky baccalaure- 

 ate origins of doctoral recipients in the bio- 

 logical sciences from 1978 through 2002 for 

 Hispanic men and Hispanic women. During 

 that period U.S. citizens in the biological sci- 

 ences earned 81,951 doctorate degrees, of 

 which 1930 (2.4%) went to Hispanic U.S. cit- 

 izens. Kentucky produced seven Hispanic 

 baccalaureate recipients of doctoral degrees in 

 the biological sciences. 



Table 6 presents the Kentucky baccalaure- 

 ate origins of doctoral recipients in chemistry 

 from 1978 through 2002 for black men and 

 black women. During that period, U. S. citi- 

 zens earned 30,864 doctorate degrees in 

 chemistry, with 553 (1.8%) of that number go- 

 ing to U.S. blacks. Kentucky produced four 

 black baccalaureate recipients of doctoral de- 

 grees in chemistry.

ing to U.S. Hispanics. Kentucky produced 

 three Hispanic baccalaureate recipients of 

 doctoral degrees in chemistry. 



Within Kentucky, institutions of higher ed- 

 ucation produced one black (from Centre Col- 

 lege, 1979) and no Hispanic baccalaureate re- 

 cipients who earned a doctorate in physics 

 from 1978 through 2002. During that period 

 U.S. citizens earned 15,938 doctorate degrees 

 in physics. Of that number, black U. S. citi- 

 zens earned 196 (1.2%) and Hispanic U.S. cit- 

 izens earned 296 (1.9%). 



Table 8 presents the average number of 

 doctorates earned annually by U. S. citizens 

 matriculating from baccalaureate institutions 

 over two time periods: 1978 through 1994 (17 

 years) and 1995 through 2002 (8 years). Col- 

 umn one presents the discipline cohorts. Col- 

 umn 2 presents the average number of doc- 

 torates earned annually by individuals 

 matriculating from baccalaureate institutions 

 nationwide from 1978 through 1994 and from 

 1995 through 2002, as well as the percentage 

 change between these averages. Column 3 

 presents similar data for individuals matricu- 

 lating from Kentucky baccalaureate 

 institutions.
