Ellis, Susanne D.; And Others – 1969
Reported is a survey of interest in physics as a field of higher education, kinds of physics being studied, where physics courses are offered, and what physics degree-holders do and want to do. This comprehensive survey is one of a series, with earlier editions appearing in 1962, 1964, and 1966. Most of the information was obtained from members of…

Ellis, Susanne D. – 1976
The total graduate physics enrollment was 10,410 at the beginning of the 1974-75 academic year; this represents an eight-year decline from a peak of 15,500 graduate students. About 90% of these students are currently enrolled at Ph.D. granting institutions. The data presented in this report come from a survey of individual graduate students whose…
