Colleges That Produce The Most PhDs

Colleges That Produce The Most PhDs

If you’re looking to earn a PhD, the list below will show you which colleges are best. We compiled this list by looking at the number of students who receive their doctorates from each institution every year. This method is not perfect—there are other variables that influence where someone goes to graduate school besides just the raw number of graduates—but it gives us a decent idea of which schools are producing these degrees in significant numbers.

Harvard University

College Admissions was founded in 2005 and has since become the highest-rated college admissions consulting company in the United States. College Admissions provides students with one-on-one consultation for standardized tests, college applications and financial aid requests. The company offers multiple services ranging from a simple application review to weekend workshops for applicants looking for a little more guidance.

University of California, Berkeley

The University of California, Berkeley is a public research university known for its graduate programs in the humanities, social sciences and life sciences. UC Berkeley has been a leader in producing PhDs since the early 20th century. In 1930, it became the first university to award 500 PhDs per year, and today Berkeley is still one of only four universities in the country (alongside Harvard University, Stanford University and Princeton University) that produce more than one hundred PhDs annually. The number of Doctoral degrees granted by UC Berkeley each year varies depending on enrollment levels at this elite institution; however, as a whole over 3200 students earn their doctoral degrees from this top-tier school each year.

Berkeley’s small student body size means that it has the highest number of PhDs per capita among any other college or university in America with over 7% of its population earning this advanced degree (UCLA comes in second place with just under 5%). In addition to being highly ranked by U.S News & World Report when compared against other public universities across various metrics such as graduation rate performance and undergraduate student academic experience rating system scores; when compared against all schools nationwide it ranks number ten overall for best value based on price vs quality metrics such as graduation rates being higher than average at these institutions while maintaining relatively low tuition costs compared to other similar institutions within this category.*
