If 1 out of every 5 Chicago grads is an Econ major, then that makes their Econ PhD production look even worse. Remember, these are the number of Econ PhDs as a percentage of TOTAL graduates from each school. The more Econ majors, the more Econ PhDs you should expect.



Yes, the PhD stats would look even worse, but if MBA stats were shown, Swarthmore would indeed be embarrassed by UChicago. Many UChicago econ majors are looking at the econ major as a pre-professional major, as opposed to one that would lead into research/teaching.
