how many students go on to grad school?

<p>Can someone point me to a source where graduate school placement of undergraduate colleges is reported?</p>

<p>I want to get a sense of the extent to which undergrads at school X go on to grad school in less than some short period of time, say, 2-3 yrs.</p>

<p>You will probably have to ask each school individually. I don't know of any centralized source. The princeton review site give this info for some colleges, but not others, and appears to be limited to those who go directly after graduation.</p>

<p>The frequent poster on CC, Interesteddad, has compiled lists of colleges where many students go on to get PhD's, but this does not include those whose post undergraduate education ends with a masters, or who go to professional school.</p>

<p>Depends on the field too. For some its an utter waste of times, others not so much....</p>

<p>Here's the data for PhDs, weighted by size of school:
<a href="http://www.swarthmore.edu/Admin/institutional_research/baccorsum1995-2004.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.swarthmore.edu/Admin/institutional_research/baccorsum1995-2004.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thanks. great info. Does anyone happen to know of reports for the source of PHDs of other disciplines, say English and Psychology?</p>

<p>I agree, it depends on the school.</p>

<p>For instance, I want to be a teacher.</p>

<p>At some schools I have to get my BA in Liberal Studies and go on to get my Masters' in Education before I can get my credential. At others I can get a BA/BS in Education and get my credential immediately.</p>

<p>You can look it up yourself on the NSF "webcaspar" site. If you search CC for posts by "interesteddad" and "PhD", you will find lists of the colleges that produce the most PhD's per capita in many different fields. Again, this is PhD data only.</p>
