<p>Check out this link. It is from Reed college, but it shows Carleton’s phd productivity for various disciplines. </p>
<p>[REED</a> COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html]REED”>Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
<p>This link Carleton does very well producing PhD compared to all other liberal arts colleges. Ironically, Reed does not let USnews rank them. They just won’t give the info to US news. This is admirable and something Carleton should strongly consider. This list gives a list of schools with the same emphasis on PhD production regardless of “rank”.</p>
<p>As for why so many Phd out of Carleton in the Sciences…</p>
<p>1.Culture: All your peers and friends get PhDs…I should get one too 
…also includes professor’s encouragement.
2.Comps…kinda is like a mini dissertation…gets students use to the frustrations of research.
3.Long standing relations with grad schools. Carls have done so well getting PhD historically…Carls are a good bet for grad schools.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
