The Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics conducts an annual census of all degree-granting physics departments in the United States and Puerto Rico. The survey, collecting data from the 754 departments that granted bachelor's degrees in the class of 2008, had a 97% response rate. Estimates were derived and included in the totals for non-responding departments. One of the findings of this survey reveals that about 70% of the physics departments that offer the bachelor's as their highest physics degree average 5 or fewer degrees a year. The number of physics bachelor's conferred has increased 58% since a low in 1999. The number of physics bachelor's conferred at doctoral-granting departments has increased 74% since the class of 1999. Physics Bachelor's Degrees Conferred, Academic Years 1998-2008 are appended.
