Physics by the Numbers
Data on physics and related education levels earned by different demographic groups.
APS provides statistical data on educational attainment and demographics in physics and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This data can be used by physics educators and those advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in STEM to understand and support diverse and inclusive outreach in physics.
