BYU ranked 7th as a Ph.D. Launching Pad

Excerpts of BYU Seventh in the Nation for Grads that Get Ph.D.s, Meridian Magazine

--

In the past five years, 1,255 BYU grads have received Ph.D.s. Those figures make BYU seventh in the country as a Ph.D. launching pad, ahead of schools like Harvard, Yale and Stanford.

BYU is primarily an undergraduate institution, so the few hundred BYU grads that embark on the Ph.D. path each year fan out across the country after gaining acceptance to programs at other universities.
