Fewer Math and Science Ph.D.s

According to an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education (Monday, November 11, 2002; online, for subscribers only, at http://chronicle.com/internal-archive?url=/daily/2002/11/2002111101n.htm), the total number of Ph.D’s awarded in the United States has declined sharply over the last few years. In fact, the 2001 number is the same as the 1993 number. The decrease is mostly due to fewer Math, Science and Engineering degrees (down 6.5% since 1998).
