| Abstract | This report provides data on students earning physics and astronomy Bachelors degrees for the academic years ending in 1999 and 2000. A survey was sent to each of the 763 degree-granting departments that confer physics degrees, and responses were received from 2,721 physics major seniors from both classes. Findings show that physics Bachelors degree production increased for the first time in almost a decade. The class of 2000 had a total of 3,894, an increase of 7% over the previous year. The number one goal for both physics and astronomy bachelors degree candidates, 31% and 48% in the 2 years, is to work at a college or university doing teaching or research. Recent years have seen a slight increase in the proportion of new degree recipients entering directly into physics graduate studies. Of the physics majors, 76% indicated having worked on an undergraduate research project. Respondents generally indicated that, if given the opportunity to do it over again, they would still major in physics (84% of physics Bachelors candidates and 81% of astronomy candidates). (SLD) |
