<p>This is a really interesting general source of statistics on Physics. Lots of different types of data out here:</p>

<p>Here is one item where you can see where the two schools fall in comparison to each other:</p>
<p>[Physics</a> Bachelor’s Degrees - Table 4e](<a href=“http://www.aip.org/statistics/trends/highlite/edphysund/table4e.htm]Physics”>http://www.aip.org/statistics/trends/highlite/edphysund/table4e.htm) </p>
<p>This is an interesting link (even though it is at Reed’s website) if you are interested in getting a PhD after your undergrad degree:</p>

<p>Research is required at Mudd, either a one year research project or via the “clinical” experience which is a project completed as part of a team with a sponsoring organization (company, outside national lab, etc). I don’t think you would find anything like the clinical program at Williams – Mudd has put a lot of energy into working with outside sponsors on this program. They flashed a slide at accepted student days of the research dollars that undergrad intitutions without graduate programs have, and Mudd was at the top of the list by quite a bit (I think Swarthmore was a ways behind at second, not sure of the rest of the list). They also said they have been focused on diversifying their funding sources so they aren’t so dependent on NSF grants as some other schools, since goverment funding is really at risk right now. That is something you might want to ask about at Williams.</p>
