1 S&E Degrees Becoming More Prevalent From to, science and ineering degrees increased in prevalence for both genders. The trend was driven by growth in the socalled hard sciences. The percentage of bachelor s degrees accounted for by S&E disciplines increased two percentage points for men, and one percentage point for women. The percentage of master s degrees accounted for by S&E disciplines increased one percentage point for men, and remained nearly flat for women. At the doctoral level, social sciences and psychology decreased in prevalence, while the other S&E disciplines increased. S&E hard sciences now account for 48 percent of all doctoral degrees earned by men, up from 45 percent in. The definition of science and ineering used in this Report includes social sciences and psychology and is based on classifications used by the National Science Foundation.

3 S&E by Discipline: Losing Ground at Bachelor s Level From to, the share of bachelor s degrees earned by women decreased in all seven S&E disciplines.
