<p>First, the HC Physics department as a great alumni section which should give you a sense of the variety of things grads are doing.</p>
<p>Second, here’s a ranking of the top 10 LACs (adjusted for undergrad size) in producing Ph.Ds in the physical sciences. I think it shows Haverford does quite well even though Reed and Carleton do a tad bit better… (When physical and life sciences are combined, Haverford jumps to #4, but ultimately I don’t think the individual place order rankings are that telling)</p>
