Abstract	The majority (67%) of degree-granting physics departments in the United States grant a bachelor's degree as their highest degree. There are 84 departments that grant astronomy bachelor's degrees. Of these departments, 39 are separate, stand-alone astronomy departments, and 45 are in departments that award both astronomy and physics degrees. The size of physics and astronomy departments varies greatly depending on the characteristics of each institution. The data presented in this report provide an overall view of the relationship of full-time equivalent (FTE) faculty to the number of physics and astronomy bachelor's degrees conferred. Department's missions are not homogenous, so this relationship is not a measure of productivity. Rather, interested parties can compare their departments with others. (ERIC).
