UPenn, USC, or Amherst?

National Science Foundation Rankings By Total R&D (research & development) Expenditures–2017

To illustrate the absurdity of comparing LACs to National Universities for research, examine the NSF rankings of 902 institutions by R&D expenditures.

Not a single LAC came in the top 320 schools when ranked by R&D expenditures.

The top ranked LAC, Bryn Mawr College, ranked #321 with over $11 million in R&D expenditures.

Amherst College came in at about #420 with just over $4 million dollars of research & development expenditures.

The Top 30 Schools By R&D Expenditures in 2017:

1. Johns Hopkins (JHU)–$2,562,307,000 (over $2.5 billion)

2. Univ. of Michigan–$1,530,139,000

3. UC-SF–$1,409,398,000

4. UPenn–$1,374,293,000

5. Univ. of Washington–Seattle–$1,348,220,000

6. Emory University–$664,000,000

Amherst College at about #420 with $4,000,000.

I don’t care how well funded they are for research, no undergrads are getting research opportunities at UCSF. ?

Are there any lists which detail research dollars per student enrolled?
