Top Physics Degree Producers Ranked

APS generates tables showcasing the top institutions (by number of physics degrees granted) in a variety of categories. These tables are freely available for your use. Access the tables on the Top Educators page.

An APS website enables U.S. institutions to see how they compare nationally in terms of producing physics graduates and increasing the diversity of these graduates. Check out the How Does Your Institution Compare? page.
