I don’t see anything on the Pitzer website about Pitzer’s PhD production or graduate school placement. Am I missing it? I also don’t see Pitzer’s name on lists of “top 50” colleges that produce PhDs, so I’m inferring that relatively fewer people go on to graduate school from Pitzer than from many other liberal arts colleges that pride themselves on attracting students who think outside the pre-professional box (Bates, Beloit, Carleton, Grinnell, Kalamazoo, Lawrence, Macalester, Oberlin, Occidental, Reed, Swarthmore, Vassar, Whitman etc.) But for all I know, Pitzer could be the 51st highest ranked college in terms of PhD production. Anybody got any info? I’m especially interested in psychology and other social sciences.
