Science-Oriented Campuses Strive To Attract More Women.
Selingo, Jeffrey
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n24 pA53-A54 Feb 20 1998
Although women's enrollment at leading institutions of science and engineering have risen significantly in recent years, they still frequently make up less than one-third of the student population, despite women's high academic qualifications. Many institutions admit more women than men, but women are choosing other colleges and careers. Women still lag behind men in standardized mathematics test scores. (MSE)
