Abstract
The traditional evaluation on Chinese graduate schools usually focus on the comprehensive factors of master′s and doctoral programs. This paper attempts to test a hypothesis on the relationship between graduate programs and the ratings of Chinese graduate schools. The educational evaluation history both in the U.S. and in China is briefly reviewed and compared. A case study is performed by using part of the graduate schools′ data from Chinese polytechnic universities in 1994. The comprehensive factors that affect the graduate schools′ scale are examined. The result indicates that different graduate programs do affect graduate schools′ ratings. Two comprehensive factors are obtained from several indicators representing master′s scale and doctoral scale respectively. The paper also intends to help provide a new evaluation method in ranking graduate schools′ scale.
