As of 2005, 60 percent of all college undergraduates were women. I don't know what the trends are in humanities and arts programs, but engineering is about 75 percent men and nursing is almost 100 percent women. The hard sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) are a toss-up but mostly men.

Consider how gender-biased the name “Nursing” is for a profession. Why was the name left unchanged at the same time that “man” was removed from the name of many occupations? (Fireman = firefighter, fisherman = fisher, etc.)

In many colleges, most of the engineering students are foreigners.
