I know that CS majors are among the most lopsided majors where men predominate. I also have heard about how it wasn’t so a long time ago.

I saw this blog post by Jon Boeckenstedt, where you can slice & dice data about Bachelor’s degrees awarded in 2022.

Something to note is that, at UCB, “computer science” appears to be L&S CS only (848 graduates). EECS majors (528 graduates) would be under “electrical and electronics engineering” on that web page, even though it looks like most emphasize CS rather than EE (based on the 20-70 enrollment of most EE upper division courses).

Right. And a lot less women in EECS at Cal. 22%
