Hello.

The U.S. Department of Education compiles the data that you seek and
publishes it as the "Digest of Education Statistics."

According to the 2001 Digest, the Computer & Information Sciences
graduates in 1999-2000 were as follows:

Bachelor's: 36,195
http://nces.ed.gov//pubs2002/digest2001/tables/dt255.asp

Master's: 14,264
http://nces.ed.gov//pubs2002/digest2001/tables/dt256.asp

Doctorate: 777
http://nces.ed.gov//pubs2002/digest2001/tables/dt257.asp

search strategy: "digest of education statistics"

I hope this helps.

The CRA (Computer Research Association) also tracks this yearly by
surveying all the CS research universities.  The numbers are widely
different from the Deptartment of Education which I'm guessing is due
to a wider range of degrees making up "Computer & Information
Sciences" and also a high number of non-research universities/colleges
granting undergraduate CS degrees.

These numbers were calculated from the 2002 report with the following
formula:
US CS = (Total - Canadian - US CE)

Bachelor's: 12,302

Master's: 6,089
http://www.cra.org/CRN/articles/march02/tables9to16.html#12

Phd's: 773
http://www.cra.org/CRN/articles/march02/tables1to8.html#1

The final report published in 2002:
