U.S. Female Geoscience Degree Rates in Atmospheric Science, Geography, Geoscience and Ocean Science, 2000-2012

From the 1970's until around 2010, women have been an increasingly large part of the geoscience student and graduate population. The participation rates have levelled off in recent years, largely believed related to the energy-driven increase in overall geoscience enrollments.

Trends in Geoscience Degrees Conferred to Women

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

The percentage of geoscience doctorates conferred to women has increased by 5% since 2007 while the percentage of bachelor’s and master’s degrees conferred to women has remained steady over the same time period. Compared to other disciplines, the geosciences rank consistently ahead of all physical science and engineering degrees. Additionally, the geosciences had the largest increase in the percentage of degrees conferred to women between 1993 and 2006 for all science and engineering degrees.

Geoscience Currents #69: U.S. Female Geoscience Enrollment and Degree Rate is Mixed in 2011-2012

Geoscience Currents #69 explores how female geoscience enrollments and degrees changed in the 2011-2012 academic year. New data collected shows that female geoscience enrollments and degrees in the U.S. dropped sharply at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels, but increased slightly at the Doctoral level.
