REVISED once more (evening 12/13)
Here is where the current tenure-track faculty (pre-tenure decision) at the PGR top 20 departments (based on the fall 2006 surveys) earned their PhD (or DPhil) (this list includes only those who earned the degree from a philosophy or HPS faculty and whose tenure home is in the top 20 department). Remember that these are tenure-track philosophers who were choosing graduate schools anywhere from five to seventeen years ago. The differences in the list from just a few years ago are interesting:
1. Princeton University (10 graduates at Princeton [2], Pittsburgh, MIT, Michigan, Stanford, North Carolina, Notre Dame [2], USC)
2. Massachussetts Institute of Technology (8 graduates at Princeton [2], Michigan [2], MIT, and Harvard [3])
2. Rutgers University, New Brunswick (8 graduates at UCLA, UC Irvine, Yale [3], Brown, USC [2])
4. University of Pittsburgh (7 graduates at Harvard [2], North Carolina, Chicago [2], UC San Diego, UC Irvine) (both Philosophy and HPS)
5. New York University (5 graduates at MIT, Brown, Texas [2], North Carolina)
6. Oxford University (4 graduates at Pittsburgh, UCLA, Notre Dame, Cornell)
6. Yale University (4 graduates at Princeton, Notre Dame, Chicago, Cornell)
8. Harvard University (3 graduates at NYU, Stanford, UC Irvine)
8. University of California, Los Angeles (3 graduates at Cornell, Brown, UC Irvine)
10. University of California, Berkeley (2 graduates at Berkeley, Chicago)
10. University of Chicago (2 graduates at Arizona, UC San Diego)
10. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (2 graduates at Columbia, Yale)
All of the following programs had one graduate in a top 20 tenure-track position in 07-08: Arizona, Brown, Carnegie-Mellon, Columbia, Duke, Free University (Berlin), Illinois (Urbana-Champaign), Michigan, Ohio State, Paris, Texas, Toronto, and UC Irvine.
UPDATE: Some more recent data, for 2011 and then for 2012.
