A better way to judge a department would be to see where their students go to graduate school rather than how many, but unfortunately most don’t offer this information.

<p>You mean like this, that includes the thirteen most popular grad and professional universities for graduates in the Classes of 2004-06:</p>

<p>Or this, that lists every grad and professional college and degrees earned by grads in the classes of 1997-2001 (does not include multiples, i.e. if three students got med degrees from U Rochester, it would only be listed once):</p>
