Doctors Are In
BYU ranks 10th in the nation in the number of graduates who earn doctoral degrees, according to a new nationwide, federally financed study. The National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago issued an analysis of every PhD earned in the United States from 1995 to 2004. With 2,116 alumni earning doctorates in that period, BYU came in ahead of such universities as MIT, Yale, and Stanford.
Movin’ On Up
BYU moved up one place in U.S. News & World Report’s annual survey, to 70th in the “national universities” category. The university was also ranked 19th in the “great schools, great prices” category.
