Hi Chuck, For U.S. data, go to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES): http://nces.ed.gov/
To look at post-secondary data, use the drop down menu. Once on the Integrated Post-secondary Education Data System (IPEDS) site, click on "Data" in the menu box on the left. From here, you can look at completions data, faculty salary data, fall enrollment data, etc. I'm not sure if this is the data you're looking for since it's specifically about the number of degrees awarded rather than the number of majors. If you want to go directly to the "Completions" data, click here: http://nces.ed.gov/Ipeds/completions.html For 97-98, the most recent data available, there were 1,184,406 Bachelor's degrees awarded in the U.S. Of those, 73,972 (6.2%) were in psychology. That info can be found on page 16 of this pdf file: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2001/2001177.pdf For 96-97, 1,172,879 Bachelor's degrees with 74,191 (6.3%) in psychology. That info can be found on page 14 of this pdf file: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2000/2000174.pdf For 95-96, 1,164,792 Bachelor's degrees with 73,291 (6.3%) in psychology. That info can be found on page 27 of this pdf file: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs98/98256.pdf Files are available back to 89-90, but everything prior to 95-96 is in a zip file, and I'm not interested enough to download and unzip. =) -- Sue Frantz Highline Community College Psychology Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://flightline.highline.ctc.edu/sfrantz/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Chuck Huff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:42 AM > To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences > Subject: national undergrad enrollment data? > > > Colleagues, > > I am looking for data on trends in enrollment in undergraduate > psychology.
