[quote=Anonymous]Once you’ve narrowed down the list, it’s also worth checking the common data sets for those schools because they list the percentage of bachelor’s degrees awarded by major—a super-small number of graduates cannot sustain a history dept of much breadth, as a general rule, and also gives a sense of the size of the kid’s major cohort at the school at the undergraduate level. Using some of the schools tossed out here (percentage of degrees conferred in History for 2022-23): Brown 3.8 Williams 7.2 Richmond 1.2 Yale 5.6 Virginia 2.3 Must consider size of school, too, e.g., Michigan had 1% but 91 students (it looks like) bc it’s a big school, JHU had 0.6% but with 6000 undergrads that would be about 9 students?
