<p>Read page 4. The study is old but the stats are even better today than 10 years ago.
Smith recieved more than Wellesley :)</p>
<p>Great article, thanks. I'd love to see a comparison from a more recent article, but I do believe your comment that it would be even better today. I'll pass this along to my D. Good reading.</p>
<p>I saw an article somewhere (I wish I could remember where!) that listed the top feeder LACs for graduate programs. Bryn Mawr was number one, but I believe Smith was in the top ten. Hardly shabby.</p>
<p>great article! Even though it might be a litle bit dated it still gives a lot of information. This was especially helpful for me, because I decided to go to Smith even though I got into one of the top reesearch Universities, and sometimes wonder if I made the right decission.
Thx johanna</p>
<p>Note that the data do not include Ed.D.s or terminal social work degrees, where women's colleges will be majorly overrepresented.</p>
<p>Thx Johanna???? Are you speaking to me?</p>
<p>Until Ive completed my sexual reassignment operations you can still call me John.</p>

<p>BTW, the Cech data was for PhDs in the sciences and engineering. I believe that the data he was using including most social science fields in that total...at least that is typically how the NSF tables are presented. The underlying database is available for custom reports on the web, so you can include whatever fields of study you like. </p>
<p>Smith is very strong in per capita production of doctoral degrees in both the Humanities and the Social Sciences (top 25 in the country in both categories). Not as strong in PhD production in the hard sciences, engineering, and math -- a trend that appears consistent across all of the womens colleges. That's fairly intuitive given that those fields have been largely "male" domains, even today if we are to believe the ex-Presidents at one noted University.</p>

IMHO this will change in Smith's favor. With the advent of the Engineering program, which is still in it's infantile stage, and their emphasis on sciences, it appears that they will be moving up the ranks. Selecting appropriate admittee's at LAC's such as Smith is critical to the success they seek in the categories above. Does anyone have data comparing just the women's colleges in the areas of Ph.D or Ed.D in sciences, bio, engineering, etc.</p>
<p>RLT, you remind me of the joke about Hitler having an undescended left testicle, proving he was a right-winger from way back.</p>
<p>InterestedDad, you know, we're going to have to have your screen name changed to StatMan. We can come up with a superhero theme song and everything (to tune of "Batman")...how do you look in spandex?</p>

<p>Before I jump to conclusions, what was that supposed to mean?</p>

<p>Thanks interesteddad. I forgot about that study. You had it posted on the Swath site some time ago, if i'm not mistaken.</p>
<p>It's basically just data from the WebCaspar custom report generator.</p>
<p>The NSF database has PhD completions. The IPEDS database has undergrad degrees. Put the two together and you have everything you need for per graduate PhD completions.</p>
<p>One you have save the spreadsheet, it's easy to total and sort by any academic field.</p>

<p>a "right wing" bane to society? Maybe we have different definitions of the R word and all that entails. We may be closer on the political spectrum than you think.</p>
<p>OTOH I haven't checked my private parts of late and I my indeed be another Hilter. Chilling to imagine your daughter is attending college with a student whose father is part of the <em>third reich</em></p>
<p>The above link doesn't seem to work. We'll try again. College R do avail themselves to worthwhile causes, as hard as that may be to believe.</p>
<p>well, all i'll say, in a totally irrelevant way, is that i am a smith graduate and i will be starting my ph.d. in the humanities/social sciences in august. so i guess i am the proof of the pudding! :)</p>
<p>Congratulations, Recent! Where are you headed?</p>
<p>a west coast research institution. very excited. grew up in flyover country so coastal life is still sort of novel, even after 4 years in new england.</p>
<p>RLT, you've over reacting, I think: I was responding to your line about waiting for your sexual reassignment therapy, plus being a Republican. Even most Republicans aren't as bad as Hitler, though folks like Ann Coulter I'd like to keep away from any executive power.</p>
