Undergraduate degrees decreased from 84 to 62 students in 1997. As with enrollments, most of the The Health Physics Enrollments and Degrees, degrees were awarded within the health physics/ 1997 survey consisted of 51 institutions offering a radiation protection or radiation health major (79 major in health physics/radiation protection or radiation percent), while health physics/radiation protection health, or an option program equivalent to a major (for engineering programs accounted for 15 percent of the example, in radiobiology or biophysics) that prepare the undergraduates. graduates to perform as health physicists. Of the 51 programs, 1 was reported as inactive, and 5 programs MASTER`S ENROLLMENTS AND DEGREES have been suspended; 1 reported last degrees in 1996, 2 reported last degrees in 1997, and 2 programs were In 1997, the number of master`s enrollments allowing students to complete their degrees.
