I’m trying to find out what the percentage of students in a particular major (Biology or Biological Sciences) is in specific colleges. This would be helpful for my daughter, as she doesn’t want to go to a school where just a small amount of students are enrolled in biology.
Is there anywhere to find this information? I’ve gone to various schools’ websites and am spending a ton a time digging up (and failing to dig up, in many instances) this information.
Thanks for any help.
If the school posts its Common Data Set, look in section J.
For example, 5.59% of degrees conferred by Stanford to the class of 2015 were in biological / life sciences, according to http://ucomm.stanford.edu/cds/2015#degrees .
Thanks, I will look there!
As an additional resource, USNWR has “most popular majors” listings under the individual college entries (toward the back of the book).
Will look for that in the book, thank you. I knew it was out there, I just didn’t know where to look.
