Number of Physics Faculty in Two-Year Colleges

Almost 3,300 faculty members taught physics courses in two-year colleges during the 2011-12 academic year. More than half of these faculty members were employed in full-time positions, and over twenty percent were women. Sixty percent of the academic units which offer physics have only one (or no) full-time faculty member who teaches physics. In this report, we examine these data in more detail.
