The third in a series of studies was conducted to describe doctoral programs in rehabilitation over three successive time periods. Characteristics of programs were summarized for the 1999—2000 academic year, including degrees and majors offered, admissions, curriculum, students, and faculty. In addition, information was compiled on numbers of graduates and types of positions entered from calendar years 1991 to 1997, maintaining the series of 7-year intervals from the two previous studies. From the time of the first study to the second, substantial declines had previously been noted in both the numbers of doctoral programs and graduates, but these numbers were found to have stabilized from the second study to the present study, with the identification of 29 programs that produced 276 graduates during the 7-year period. As with the previous studies, considerable variability was found among programs in virtually all of the characteristics examined.
