Gender gap persists in science and engineering degrees, international students on the rise.
Graduation rates for bachelor’s and master’s degrees have gone up in the last 20 years, with 6 million bachelor’s degrees and 3 million master’s degrees given out in OECD countries in 2013. Even though more women are graduating, they are still not well-represented in science and engineering fields. The number of international students also goes up as the level of education increases: 7% of bachelor’s graduates were international students in 2013, but 18% of master’s graduates were.
