Women's degrees 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Women's share of college BA's today is higher than men's. 

Notice on the chart below how the percentage of BA's held by women soars during the 1970's and 80's in these majors: psychology, biology, business, engineering, communication, architecture. Likely related to Title IX.


Computer science as a major for women also soared at that time, but then returned to a level more similar to what it had been in about 1970.
