<p>I've seen all of these degree proportion posts and been hoping for a philosophy one. Yaaay, little tiny departments at little tiny schools! I once did an non-philosophy-related interview with a staff member and another philosophy student. The staff member joked that she'd never seen so many of us in a room together...ha. Very interesting information...thanks for posting it!</p>
