#1 Again
For many years Sonoma State University has led the California State University system in the percentage of its undergraduates majoring in physics. In recent years the number of majors has declined, apparently in response to the well-publicized oversupply of Ph.D.'s in the sciences--even though there is still demand for those with bachelor's degrees in physics--but it turns out that the number of majors has declined everywhere.
The most recent figures available are for Fall 1994. Only 0.25% of the 259 thousand undergraduates at the twenty CSUs were physics majors, but at SSU the figure was 0.78%. The second highest was 0.46% at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Just four campuses--the Cal Polys at Pomona and San Luis Obispo, San Francisco State and San Diego State--had more physics majors than Sonoma State, which ranked sixteenth in overall undergraduate enrollment.
