April Fool's Day





In celebration of April Fool's Day, I thought I would share some (true) facts from Walden University's dissertation database.

 






There have been a total of 7756 dissertations published at Walden
Of these 2560 were from education (329 in 2015)
   1061 psychology (115 in 2015)
   912 from health sciences (191 in 2015)
     843 management (139 in 2015)
     389 public policy (86 in 2015)
     119 nursing (93 in 2015)
       77 business (58 in 2015)

 Thus far, 212 have been published in 2016
               1102 were published in 2015
               1015 were published in 2014 

Of all Walden dissertations
1322 mentioned student in title
395 mentioned health in title
293 mentioned professional in title
43 mentioned sex in title
33 mentioned food in title
20 mentioned doctoral in title
13 mentioned animals in title 

Next time, I will work through an example of IRB issues. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Send me an email with your ideas. leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
