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. ________________________________ Chinese universities take lead from UC-Berkeley in producing Ph.D. hopefuls - By Lisa M.
