The world’s civil law schools have their fair share of students, but a recent survey suggests some of the best ones are actually from the United States.
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for the Study of the Constitution found that only a few of the schools surveyed had more than 20 percent of their students earn a law degree.
Only one, the University of Texas School of Law, has a higher percentage of its students earning a law license than its graduates.
The report also found that a majority of schools surveyed have more than one undergraduate program, with only about half having more than 10 undergraduate programs.
The top ranked schools were Harvard Law School and the University the University at Buffalo, both of which have more students with law degrees than their students with engineering degrees.
The University of California-Berkeley and the Stanford Law School have a similar number of undergraduate students with a law program.
The U.S. Naval Academy has a much smaller number of law graduates, but has an average of more than 30 percent with law licenses.
While the survey was done on students from 2009 to 2014, some schools are still recruiting students at a faster pace than others.
Only three of the nation’s 100 largest law schools are enrolling a greater percentage of their undergraduate students in law than they were in 2009.
The remaining schools are all in the same range of enrollments.
The report also noted that the number of students with the bachelor’s degree or higher from a given school rose to 18 percent from 10 percent in 2009, according to the most recent data available from the Higher Education Research Institute.
However, only 11 percent of the students at those schools are earning a bachelor’s.
