 ### UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

 In general, physics is a bit more popular than the average subject at the college level. Each subject hands out roughly 6,200 four-year degrees a year; last year, 8,457 people received an undergrad degree in physics, making it the US' 61st most popular focus. The [University of Washington-Seattle Campus](/colleges/university-of-washington-seattle-campus)​ awarded 176 of those degrees (#1 in the country), and schools in California granted more degrees than any US State (1,183).

 It can potentially be hard to rout out the right fit for you, because 786 institutions around the country have four-year degrees in physics. Undergraduate degrees in physics are offered at 4.1 times more schools than the average major, making it the 26th most widely offered U.S. field.

 ### GRADUATE DEGREES

 While last year, virtually seven out of ten degrees in physics were bachelor's degrees; 31% were grad degrees. Physics is the 57th most popular postgrad degree in the United States of America, with 3,873 degrees awarded. To put that in context, physics is 40% more popular among postgrads than the average concentration.

 In Total, 12,330 students received a bachelor's or higher in physics last year.

 ### ONLINE PHYSICS DEGREES

 55 of those 12,330 students (0.4%) completed their degrees online - 0 undergrads and 55 postgrads. It's presently the 155th most popular online grad degree, and 91.1% shy of the national average (616).
