The National Research Council released A Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States based on data collected from more that 5,000 doctoral programs for the 2005-2006 academic year. From this site you can download comprehensive Excel spreadsheets and then concentrate on data for the specific program(s) you are interested in. The NRC did not provide a single linear ranking of programs but rather provided data so users can choose weights for characteristics that are most important to them and them obtain a ranking based on those weights. PhDs.org, an independent website not affiliated with the National Research Council, incorporated data from the research-doctorate assessment into its Graduate School Guide. Users of the Guide can choose the weights assigned to the program characteristics measured by the National Research Council and others, and rank graduate programs according to their own priorities. You can download an Excel file of the data released for graduate programs in mathematics here.Nobel Prizes Awarded to Women
