National Student Clearinghouse
From 2006 to 2016, degree completion in the so-called "hard sciences" increased in prevalence for both genders. Excluding social sciences and psychology, the percentage of bachelor's degrees accounted for by science and engineering disciplines increased five percentage points for men, and two percentage points for women. This brief report presents statistics on science and engineering degree completion by gender: (1) Science and Engineering Degrees as Percentage of All Degrees (2006, 2016); (2) Gender Distribution of Science and Engineering Degrees by Level (2006, 2016); (3) Gender Distribution of Bachelor's Degrees in Science and Engineering Disciplines (2006, 2016); (4) Gender Distribution of Master's Degrees in Science and Engineering Disciplines (2006, 2016); and (5) Gender Distribution of Doctoral Degrees in Science and Engineering Disciplines (2006, 2016).
