Silicon Valley: Chinese universities take lead from UC-Berkeley in producing Ph.D. hopefuls

[David Farber <dave () farber net>]

The pipeline into America's Ph.D. programs used to flow from Berkeley. Now, the highest number of students pour in from 
China's Tsinghua and Beijing universities. Trailing third is the University of California-Berkeley, which had been the 
top source of students to the nation's doctoral studies for over a decade, according to an analysis by the National 
Science Foundation. Of the top 10 schools producing future doctoral candidates, only six are U.S. schools. In fact, 
more than one-third of all people in the United States earning doctorates in science and engineering come from 
somewhere else. About 13 percent - or 4,236 people - hail from China. Science and engineering account for the bulk of 
the doctorates in this country.
