| Abstract | The Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics conducts an annual census from October through February of all departments that offer degrees in astronomy (78) in the United States. Astronomy departments consist of stand-alone degree-granting departments (39) and departments that are administered along with a physics program (39). For the class of 2010, the authors received responses from 95% of these departments and for the class of 2009 they heard from 97%. Estimates were derived and included in the totals for non-responding departments. The academic year 2009-10 has hit a number of all-time highs concerning astronomy education. New highs were reached in the areas of introductory astronomy course enrollments, senior-level astronomy majors, total number of astronomy graduate students and astronomy bachelor's degrees conferred. In 2010, 382 bachelor's were awarded with 36% (N=138) earned by women. Appended are: (1) Number of Astronomy Degrees Granted by Highest Astronomy Degree Offered by Department, 2009-10; and (2) Trend in Astronomy Enrollments and Degrees, Academic Years 2000-2011. (Contains 9 figures and 4 tables.) (ERIC). |
