Higher Education in Science and Engineering

Higher Education in Science and Engineering examines U.S. trends within a global context. It discusses degree awards, certificates, student demographics, cost, and debt. S&E degrees continue to increase both in numbers and as shares of total degrees. Representation of women among S&E degree recipients varies by field, and several demographic groups remain underrepresented in S&E degree attainment. The United States awards the most S&E doctorates and is the most popular destination for international students, but international enrollment declined sharply in fall 2020 due to COVID-19.
