Undergraduate institutions train a large proportion of the students who eventually earn PhDs in physics; research enhances the education of their students and the professional life of their faculty.

Physics Today 39 (6), 36–45 (1986); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881030

The doctorate is the formative educational experience for professional physicists, and while PhD education is healthy, universities face the problems of deteriorating equipment and an aging faculty.

Foreign citizens have become an integral part of the practice of physics in the United States, helping to staff research and teaching programs in universities and remaining after graduation to help avert shortages of research manpower.

Physics Today 39 (6), 58–62 (1986); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881032

Academia is the traditional training ground for research in physics but only a minority of PhDs continue working there—does their academic training provide them with a good basis for a career in industry?

Physics Today 39 (6), 70–78 (1986); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881033

Fewer Americans are pursuing graduate studies in physics—despite increasing employment opportunities—but the number of foreign graduate students in American universities has increased dramatically.
