<p>Note: This does not include M.D., M.B.A. or Law Degrees.</p>
<p>The rank varies slightly depending on the decade you look at. But, in the last three decades (70’s. 80’s 90’s), Swarthmore has never ranked lower than 6th in per capita PhD. production.</p>
<p>If you look at Science and Engineering fields (physical and social sciences), 248 Swarthmore grads received Ph.D.s from 1991 - 1995. By comparison, Stanford undergrads accounted for 519 Ph.D.s in these fields. Rather striking when you consider that Stanford has almost 5 times more undergrads. If anything, you could probably argue that Swat is perhaps too heavily Ph.D. oriented.</p>
