*The University of Maryland has two programs that fall within the scope of HDFS. Kamp Dush included the Family Science program within her
survey, but the Human Development and Quantitative Methodology program was “mistakenly left off of the ranking survey.” For the 16 HDQM
faculty with a Developmental Science specialty, we computed a mean h = 32.69 and a median h = 18.
Programs ranking 26-51 are shown on the next page.
