The 1995 National Research Council report ``Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States: Continuity and Change'' summarizes the results of a survey performed in 1993. The basic message of my summary is that despite the great progress made by Texas A&M over the past three or four decades in the area of nationally visible research activities, the university has a long way to go to join the ranks of the leading national universities as it ranks somewhere around 50th of such universities, somewhere between 20th and 26th of public universities, and somewhere between fourth and sixth among what I call ``narrowly focused'' land grant universities.
This summary includes a number of summary tables including:
In addition, the rankings in the individual areas are available in the following two ways:
In 1993, the National Research Council studied universities granting doctorates in each of the following 41 areas:
Arts & Humanities 1. Art-History 2. Classics 3. Comp-Lit 4. English 5. French 6. German 7. Linguistics 8. Music 9. Philosophy 10. Religion 11. Spanish Biological Sciences 12. Biochem & Molecular 13. Cell Develop 14. Ecol, Evol, & Behavior 15. Molec & Gen Genetics 16. Neurosciences 17. Pharmacology 18. Physiology Engineering 19. Aerospace 20. Biomedical 21. Chemical 22. Civil 23. Electrical 24. Industrial 25. Materials 26. Mechanical Physical Sciences & Mathematics 27. Astrophys/Astron 28. Chemistry 29. Computer Science 30. Geosciences 31. Mathematics 32. Oceanography 33. Physics 34. Stat/Biostat Social & Behavioral 35. Anthropology 36. Economics 37. Geography 38. History 39. Poitical Science 40. Psychology 41. Sociology
Each university granting a doctorate in an area was asked to rate each of the other doctorate granting universities in that area according to faculty quality and effectiveness of program. The resulting responses were converted to scores (having two decimal places) ranging from 0.00 to 5.00 where for faculty quality 0 denoted ``not sufficient for doctoral education'' and 5 denoted ``distinguished,'' while for effectiveness of program 0 denoted ``not effective'' and 5 denoted ``extremely effective.'' Based on these scores, rankings were obtained of all doctorate granting institutions within each area.
In the table below are the rankings for Texas A&M. Note that A&M is ranked in 25 of the 41 areas and that using the 0-5 raw score, the top five areas in order are chemistry, industrial engineering, statistics, civil engineering, and oceanography. Also, the only areas in the top quartile are civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering as well as chemistry and statistics.
The columns are the score (0.00 means not rated in that area), the number of universities ranked, the Texas A&M rank, and the percentile (rank/number ranked).

By downloading the Microsoft Excel files at the NRC web site and writing a few Fortran programs, I constructed various tables summarizing the report. I only studied faculty quality, since this seems most relevant to national visibility and I only studied the 136 institutions (of the 274 in total) who received scores in at least 10 of the 41 areas.
Integer Raw Score In ---------------------------- 0 not rated 1 (0,1) 2 [1.0,1.5) 3 [1.5,2.0) 4 [2.0,2.5) 5 [2.5,3.0) 6 [3.0,3.5) 7 [3.5,4.0) 8 [4.0,4.5) 9 [4.5,5.0)
This allowed me to devote only a single column to each of the 41 areas instead of the four columns needed for the raw score. In a small number of instances, more than one program in an institution is rated in a single area (for example, Berkeley has both statistics and biostatistics). In these cases, I used the highest raw score of the programs in that area. Here are the 41 scores for Texas and Texas A&M:
Texas 6 7 5 7 5 6 7 7 6 0 7 7 6 8 6 6 7 7 7 6 8 8 7 0 7 7 7 8 8 7 7 0 8 0 7 5 6 7 6 8 7 Texas A&M 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 5 5 6 0 6 4 6 5 5 6 6 7 0 6 0 8 4 6 5 6 6 7 0 5 0 4 0 5 4
Thus Texas and Texas A&M are rated in 37 and 25 areas, respectively, with A&M rated in only one of the 11 Arts and Humanities areas. A&M has one 8 (Chemistry), two 7's (IE and Statistics), nine 6's, nine 5's, and four 4's, while Texas has seven 8's and 19 7's. The average nonzero scores are 6.78 and 5.48, respectively, while for the 22 common areas they are 7.09 and 5.32, with Texas having higher rating in 19 of the 22 areas and the other three areas having the same rating.
After looking at these tables, it became clear to me that the top universities come in the following types:
While we would all like to see Texas A&M become broader and deeper, perhaps the most realistic goal is to be comparable with universities of Type IV over common areas (inspection of the tables suggests this is not currently true), but at least ensure that we are the best university of Type V.
The following table shows that this is not true as Purdue, UC Davis, and North Carolina State rank higher, as do Arizona and Maryland which might be classed as Type V.

Appendix E of the NRC report contains the following useful information on each of the 274 institutions in the study:
Despite the fact that the NRC report does not cover business, agriculture, and the professions, it does offer an important view of the state of Texas A&M on the national university scene. It can only be used to compare institutions in the area of national research visibility, not in the very important area of undergraduate teaching, although as we know so well, the two are not unrelated.
My conclusions:
There are many other analyses one could with these data and I would be happy to share my files with anyone wanting to do so.

Here is an alphabetical list of the 136 universities receiving ratings in at least 10 of the 41 areas in the NRC report together with the number of rated areas in each of the five classifications in the report (Arts & Humanities, Biological Sciences, Engineering, Physical Sciences & Mathematics, and Social & Behavioral Sciences) and the average rating (according to the 1 to 9 scale I used in my original summary) of the rated areas (a zero is assigned if a university is not rated in at least half of the areas in a classification), and the rank in each classification of the institution among those rated in at least half of the areas in a classification. For example, the list shows that Texas A&M's is rated in only one area in arts & humanities, while its ranks in the other four areas are 68 (biological), 28 (engineering), 40 (physical & math), and 67 (social & behavioral), while UT's ranks are 17, 25, 12, 12, and 19, and Stanford's 7, 1, 3, 8, and 4.
