As we have seen, only seven schools in recent years have shown significant gains in the number of physics graduates, while far more (28) schools have seen significant declines. ... Several of the big gainers attributed their success to curricular refroms, including a revised introductory sequence, topical upper-level courses, greater opportunities for student research, strong mentoring, and computational physics courses.
