<p>In terms of PhD productivity, Yale ranks in the top 10 in the nation for Humanities, Social Sciences, History, and English Literature according to the standard Reed college link:</p>
<p>[REED</a> COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html]REED”>Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
<p>My guess is that there’s a strong correlation between these rankings and the quality of the program and student investment in program of study, but you can’t capture either of these statistics directly. Also, if you wish to pursue graduate work in either English or History, Yale’s a good place to be.</p>
