<p>Listings of the top 10 schools for PhD production in Math, Social Science, and other areas:
[COLLEGE</a> PHD PRODUCTIVITY](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html]COLLEGE”>Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
<p>Schools on both Math and SS lists:
Reed
Chicago
Swarthmore
Harvard
Pomona</p>
<p>Reed, Swarthmore and Pomona are LACs. All are very selective. I believe none of them grant athletic or academic merit scholarships. </p>
<p>The fact that a school is not on one of this lists does not necessarily indicate that its programs aren’t as strong as any of the schools that are. Self-selection factors may be involved. But the fact that a school is on one of these lists suggests that it does have a solid program, one that effectively motivates and prepares students for advanced work.</p>
