Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse the process associated with scientific development of faculty at institutions of higher learning. The career path of a member of faculty is determined by the scientific degree and titles he or she earns or by taking up consecutive positions at university. The development is determined by the faculty member’s personal involvement, regulations and the personnel policy of the university. In this paper, survival analysis was the main tool used to create a model of scientific development. The data used for the analysis concern PhD degrees earned and professorships conferred uponfaculty members at the University of Economicsin Cracow in the years 1970–2014.
