Abstract

The article "What do graduates do with a physics bachelor's degree?" explores the post-graduation paths of physics bachelor's degree recipients. It reveals that historically, half of the graduates enter the workforce while the other half pursue graduate studies, with two-thirds opting for physics or astronomy programs. The unemployment rate for physics bachelors has fluctuated, peaking during the COVID pandemic but decreasing in recent years. Future articles will delve into the fields of employment and starting salaries for these graduates. For further inquiries, readers can contact Patrick Mulvey or Susan White at AIP Research.
