<p>I've seen lists of "top producing PhD schools" on college websites, but I was curious if there are any non-biased sites out there with just facts pertaining to this?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Here's the top 40 undergrad producers of PhDs (as a percentage of total graduates) over the most recent ten year period for which data is available. PhDs awarded between 1995 and 2004.</p>
<p>The pdf file below gives overall PhDs and just PhDs in science and engineering.</p>
<p>Here's the top 100, calculated the same way, but from the ten year period one year earlier:</p>
<p>
**Percentage of graduates getting a PhD
Academic field: ALL</p>
<p>PhDs and Doctoral Degrees:
ten years (1994 to 2003) from NSF database</p>
<p>Number of Undergraduates:
ten years (1989 to 1998) from IPEDS database</p>
<p>Note: Does not include colleges with less than 1000 graduates over the ten year period. Includes all NSF doctoral degrees inc. PhD, Divinity, etc., but not M.D. or Law.** </p>

<p>Berkeley has historically granted the most PhDs... therefore, it is the "top producing PhD school"... if that's your question.</p>
<p>Yes, in terms of total numbers, UC-Berkeley is still the top. Here's the top 100 in raw numbers of graduates getting PhDs from 1994-2003.</p>
<p>
**First number is PhDs awarded.
Second number is total graduates over the offset 10-year period.**</p>

<p>^ Thanks...I was looking for that.</p>
<p>BYU is kind of a surprise...</p>
<p>I believe this is derived from the original HEDS (HEDS</a> Date Sharing Projects) data:</p>
<p>The report is 10 years old; does anyone know of a newer version?</p>
<p>The tables I posted cover PhDs granted from 1994 through 2003 with college graduates covering a 10 year period offset five years earlier.</p>
<p>The Swarthmore PDF I linked is one year newer than that covering PhDs granted through 2004. I believe that's the most most recent data publicly available in the NSF and IPEDs databases. There's a bit of lag in updating the databases.</p>
<p>The data is covers periods ending eight (or nine) years later than the Franklin & Marshall report. The F&M report is very interesting for historical data going back to the begining of the NSF's annual tracking of PhDs in 1920.</p>
