<p>The BS to PHD circuit of education in STEM certainly leads to many more benefits to society. And, as I’m sure has been brought up before, the pure numbers each university produces in completions, the second list, is obviously more important than adjusting for undergrad enrollments, because the more STEM PHD’s lead to society’s betterment, though Cal Tech is certainly one of the more important STEM u’s because of their genius, and this probably leading to leadership, direction, etc. </p>
