Tsinghua University Comes of Age
Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on July 17, 2008
Tsinghua University drew international attention this week with the release of the 2006 Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED). The report showed that the Chinese university is now the single largest source of doctoral candidates at American universities, according to the Baccalaureate Origins tables from the 2006 SED.

Some 571 graduates of undergraduate programs at Tsinghua University in Beijing earned doctorates in the United States in 2006. That's almost 150 more than third place UC Berkeley, the highest ranking American school in the Baccalaureate Origins tables. UC Berkeley formerly ranked first in the survey in this area. Another Chinese school, Beijing University, ranked second, with 507 of its alumni earning U.S. doctorates in 2006. UC Berkeley grads earned 427 doctorates in 2006. A listing of the top 50 schools in this category can be found here.

Tsinghua University has about 14,000 undergraduate students. It is by far China's most popular and prestigious institution of higher education.
