2021 Graduate Enrollment in Science, Engineering, and Health Fields at All-Time High as Postdocs Continue to Decline
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted graduate enrollment patterns in science, engineering, and health fields. Enrollment declines seen in 2020 among temporary visa holders and first-time, full-time master ’ s and doctoral students were reversed in 2021, driven by a 44.3 % increase in first-time, full-time master ’ s students and by a 13.4 % increase in first-time, full-time doctoral students between 2020 and 2021. Full-time master ’ s enrollment and doctoral enrollment in 2021 were the highest enrollments reported since separate data for master ’ s and doctoral students became available in 2017. Conversely, overall ...
