Went on to a research doctorate
4.1per 100 bachelor's graduatesU.S. average: 2.0
From 2016 to 2025, 149 SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in biological and biomedical sciences, agricultural sciences and natural resources, and engineering.
Research doctorates (PhD, EdD and similar) only: medical, law and business degrees aren't counted. The rate divides those doctorates by the bachelor's degrees SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.
