Where do PhD students get their BA from?

It is infrequently listed without “per capita” (though the fact that is is per capita is often conveniently omitted), because the parties listing it are liberal arts colleges that are using the data as marketing tools. For that purpose they only want to show the per capita numbers, because that is what makes them look good.

Not sure where the animus toward LACs comes from; most people are interested in results that are adjusted per capita even between research universities. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see that smaller schools like Wesleyan, Swarthmore, Carleton and Williams have a certain raw impact of their own.
