Princeton among the Ivies

<p>I assume this is that list: <a href=“http://web.reed.edu/ir/phd.html[/url]”>http://web.reed.edu/ir/phd.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>First of all, there are two other big universities in that top ten “All Disciplines” list, and both are in fact more productive with respect to Ph.D.s: MIT and the University of Chicago.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t read too much into that “All Disciplines” list, though, since Princeton also makes a fine showing on these charts. Princeton and Yale show up on the lists of different subject areas in the following ways (Harvard is conspicuously absent):</p>

<p>Yale:
----Humanities
----History
----Foreign Languages
----Social Sciences
----English Literature</p>

<p>Princeton:
----Political Science
----Math & Computer Sciences
----Sciences & Engineering
----Physics
----Social Sciences</p>

<p>These run remarkably parallel to the traditional strengths of both universities.</p>
