Notably absent - Columbia, WUStL,Rice, Emory</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd and Illinois aren't surprising, they were always ranked higher in engineering...UNC is a HUUUUUUUGE surprise to me though...I don't believe it..</p>

3

<p>Mudd isn't a surprise at all.</p>

4

<p>Harvey Mudd is number two (after CalTech) in future Engineering & Sciences PhDs (by percentage of total graduates), so no surprise on another count.</p>

<p>Source: Weighted Baccalaureate Origins Study, Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium, 1992 to 2001, so newer data might be different.</p>
