Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering

Field of degree: Women, men, and racial and ethnic groups

In 2014, underrepresented minority women earned more than half of the science and engineering (S&E) degrees awarded to their respective racial and ethnic groups. White and Asian women earned nearly half of the S&E degrees awarded to their respective racial and ethnic groups. In most S&E fields of study, the share of bachelor's degrees earned by underrepresented minority women is larger than their shares of master's or doctoral degrees.
