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.

I don’t think PhD production is irrelevant to someone who says he or she is definitely interested in Economics and graduate school.

Actually, Swarthmore does have a particular field in which is stands out: Economics. And Social Sciences in general. It’s also the top per capita producer of Political Science PhDs in the country.
