Physics Degrees Across All Institutions
Institutions must graduate at least an average of 3.33 students/year from the relevant populations to be included. Tables are limited to have at most 20 institutions.
Data sources
Degree data are collected from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data. IPEDS data are collected from every institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs. Each school appoints a person to complete the IPEDS survey, from which the data is gathered.
