<p>Does anyone know why Yale is ranked so low in its philosophy department?</p>

<p>its a small boutique department. for what they have they are excellent, but they don't have a diverse offering of professors.</p>

<p>Curious as to why you knock out 2 departments where Harvard does well and Y + P do relatively poorly. Why don't you likewise disregard French, where Harvard ranked a "lowly" #17?</p>

<p>And why do you omit Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Economics?</p>

<p>Care to run the numbers for Stanford, Byerly?</p>
