Subtotals <strong>in</strong> each category for the peer comparison are presented <strong>in</strong> Appendix A. Overall NMSU’s<br />

The most problematic of these categories is the last, QP301-QP336, K<strong>in</strong>esiology, Human Mechanics<br />

and Movement, which is the primary focus of the proposed <strong>Ph</strong>D degree program. Unfortunately,<br />

NMSU’s k<strong>in</strong>esiology collection is less than one fifth the size of Louisiana State University’s collection<br />

and about one sixth the size of University of Georgia’s k<strong>in</strong>esiology collection. Overall, NMSU’s<br />

k<strong>in</strong>esiology collection is 17% of the average of its peer hold<strong>in</strong>gs. Such a small k<strong>in</strong>esiology<br />

collection cannot support a doctoral program.
