This publication is the first regular report of the newly-funded Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) Project on Expanding Regional Cooperation in Graduate and Professional Education. Information about approvals terminations, and adjustments in doctoral programs from July l, 1974 to June 30, 1977 was compiled from a survey of State Higher Education Executive Officers in the 13 western states completed in December 1977. From program changes between July 1, 1974 and December 13, 1976, only the program titles and HEGIS codes are requested. For programs undergoing changes after January 1, 1977 data concerning location, description, enrollment, and degrees conferred were gathered. Data provided by the State Education Agencies are presented with no attempt at analysis or conclusions. The ratio of approved doctoral programs to terminated programs in the West is approximately 3.4 to 1 (from this survey for 1974 to 1977) as compared to the national ratio of 5.9 to 1 (for 1971 to 1976). Other than this observation, no clear patterns of changes in doctoral programs are evident from the summary table. (Author)
