sociology major

<p>Although an unpopular major, what schools have reputable undergraduate sociology programs?</p>

<p>Here's one small datapoint: the number of Sociology PhDs per 1000 graduates at each college or university. These are the top 20 or so over the most recent 10 year period. There's a little something for just about everybody in terms of the different types of colleges and universities:</p>

<p>Number of PhDs per 1000 graduates </p>

<p>Academic field: Sociology </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>Formula: Total PhDs divided by Total Grads, multiplied by 1000 </p>

<p>Note: Does not include colleges with less than 1000 graduates over the ten year period<br>
Note: Includes all NSF doctoral degrees inc. PhD, Divinity, etc., but not M.D. or Law. </p>
