Abstract | This report presents the results of a fall 1999 survey of U.S. colleges and universities that offer doctoral, master's, and bachelor's degrees in physics and astronomy, focusing on degree production and current student enrollment. Highlighted are the following: (1) after four years of significant declines, physics bachelor's degrees conferred in 1998 remained stable; (2) the number of first-year students entering U.S. graduate physics programs has remained relatively unchanged for three consecutive years; (3) the group composition of entering physics graduate students has changed; (4) there was a 4 percent drop in physics doctorates awarded; (5) a higher proportion of women and lower proportion of foreign students receive astronomy degrees compared to their physics counterparts; and (6) bachelor's degrees in astronomy rose 8 percent. An appendix provides trend data on degrees and enrollments over the last several years. (EV) |
