Has There Been a Graduate Student "Brain Drain" in the Arts and Sciences?

Hartnett, Rodney T.

Journal of Higher Education, v58 n5 p562-85 Sep-Oct 1987

Undergraduate admission test scores were traced for Ph.D. recipients in eight arts and science disciplines and compared to the scores of those who earned degrees in business, law, and medicine. The data do not support the hypothesis that more able college graduates have done post-baccalaureate study in the professions. (Author/MLW)
