Excluding social sciences and psychology, the percentage of master\u2019s degrees accounted for by S&E disciplines increased three percentage points for men, and two percentage points for women. For every combination of degree level and gender depicted in this chart, the share of degrees accounted for by social sciences and psychology declined over the last ten years.<\/p>\n

The definition of science and engineering used in this snapshot includes social sciences and psychology and is based on classifications used by the National Science Foundation. Professional degrees, such as MD, DMD, and JD, are excluded from this analysis of doctoral degrees.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#d3d3d3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ hide_on_mobile=”off” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”] In 2016, women earned 49 percent of all S&E bachelor\u2019s degrees, 42 percent of S&E master\u2019s degrees, and 39 percent of S&E doctoral degrees. However, there was considerable variation among specific disciplines, as shown in subsequent exhibits.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#d3d3d3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ hide_on_mobile=”off” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”] From 2006 to 2016, the share of bachelor\u2019s degrees earned by women increased in only two of the seven science and engineering disciplines shown in the chart. However, one of the disciplines in which women gained ground was engineering, where they saw a two percentage point increase from 2006 to 2016. In all years studied, women earned the majority of bachelor\u2019s degrees in biological and agricultural sciences and social sciences and psychology.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#d3d3d3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ hide_on_mobile=”off” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”] From 2006 to 2016, the share of master\u2019s degrees accounted for by women increased in three S&E disciplines.
