This material is about Occidental College as a producer of students who go on to earn doctorates. It highlights results from a study published in The Journal of Economic Education that reports Occidental’s rate of doctoral outcomes in economics, measured as 2.85 per 1,000 degrees awarded.
The article compares Occidental’s economics Ph.D. outcome rate with other institutions, including Dartmouth (2.97 per 1,000), Northwestern (3.19 per 1,000), and Yale (3.78 per 1,000). It also states that research universities awarding economics Ph.D.s produce the most undergraduates who later earn a doctorate in economics, while top liberal arts colleges are described as outperforming expectations.
It adds that economics has been the most popular major at Occidental “for years,” and it quotes Woody Studenmund, Laurence de Rycke Professor of Economics, on having scholars who are also award-winning teachers. The article also notes that half of Occidental’s tenure-track faculty are women and that the college is ranked No. 19 overall among top-ranked liberal arts colleges and No. 47 among American colleges and universities based on doctoral outcomes data.
Occidental College is #641 in the United States on research impact (157,772 citations).
