The number of undergraduate astronomy degrees conferred in the US has more than doubled in the last one and a half decades and is at an all-time high. There were 428 astronomy bachelor’s awarded at the 81 departments that offered astronomy degrees during the 2013-14 academic year. Undergraduate enrollments are also at a record high, and astronomy bachelor’s degree production is expected to continue to rise as a result. First-year and total graduate student enrollments for fall 2014 were similar to the previous year.
This report contains the most current enrollment and degree data for each degree-granting astronomy department in the US. The findings in this report come from the AIP annual survey of Enrollments and Degrees.
