Stanford came in #5 for medical sciences--I'm really not sure what that includes other than pharmacy--but is not on the list for anything else. Harvard is not in the top 10 for any subject.

<p>A couple of pharmacy schools dominate the per capita production in "Medical Sciences", so I think it is pretty much just pharmacy. Swat is just dreadful in that category -- outside the top 100 per capita, in a dead tie with Oral Roberts University!</p>
<p>It's interesting to look at the historical rankings for women PhDs. In the decade of the 1970s, Harvard was ranked #6 overall in per undergrad female PhD production (this must have been Radcliffe). After deep-sixing Radcliffe and going co-ed, it fell to #29 for women in the decade of the 80's and continued to decline to #56 in the 90's. One can only assume that Larry Summers will make it an institutional priority to reverse that trend.</p>
<p>That is really the exception. Most of the other traditionally-male schools are now ranked about the same for women's PhD production as they are overall.</p>
