<p>This is fairly recent data. It’s the percentage of total graduates from each undergrad school getting a PhD in the “Biological Sciences”, “Health Sciences”, and “Life Sciences” categories of the NSF database.</p>
<p>The first column is the total number of grads over a 10 year period. The second number is the number of getting a Ph.D. in an offset 10 year period, divided by the total number of grads. In other words, approximately 5% of all CalTech grads got a Ph.D in the biological and health sciences.</p>
<p>This is the top 100 in PhD percentage in those fields.</p>
<p>**Percent of PhDs per gradutate<br>
