[quote=Anonymous]But her recommendations (and observations) are more credible than the conclusions you’re drawing from bizarrely- aggregated data. In terms of absolute numbers, significantly more PhDs earn their BAs or BSs at major research universities than at LACs. NSF adopted the yield ratio (number of PhD recipients divided by number of BA recipients in the same (broadly defined) field) as a secondary measure because LACs weren’t showing up at all in the top 50 producers of S&E PHDs. Which didn’t seem a fair representation of their role in science education. Basically, you need both pieces of data (as well as more data about subfield representation at specific LACs) to make an intelligent choice as to where your DC should go to college if s/he hopes to pursue a science PhD. And depth and breadth of research opportunities on campus is definitely something to focus on. [/quote]
