Ten years ago, women accounted for half (50%) of the students enrolled in undergraduate programs. Six in 10 students (60%) at the master’s level were women. In 2003, the percentage of women enrolled in baccalaureate (52%) and master’s (61%) programs increased slightly. In 1994, less than half of the students enrolled in doctoral (43%) and first-professional (39%) programs were women. After a decade of great progress, women constituted slightly over half of the enrollments in doctoral (51%) and first-professional (51%) programs. The greatest concentrations of women are enrolled in the Colleges of Nursing (93%) and Social Work (87%), and the lowest concentration is in the College of Engineering (15%).
