Since the inception of its PhD program in the 1960s, the Rochester Political Science Department has been consistently producing some of the most distinguished and influential scholars in the discipline. In its most recent report, which did not control for faculty size, the National Research Council ranked the Rochester department's graduate program sixth in the country. Controlling for size, a 2001 study in PS: Political Science & Politics concluded that Rochester ranked first in the country in the productivity of its PhD alumni, as measured by publications in leading journals. Rochester PhDs currently sit on the faculties of an array of universities and colleges, including Harvard, Stanford, UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, UCLA, UCSD, Columbia, Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, NYU, Caltech, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Rice, Washington (St. Louis), Notre Dame, Northwestern, Texas, and Yale. Others are flourishing outside of the academy. (Deceased alumni are listed in italics, along with their last institutional affiliation.)
