<p>You mean in the table 2 in the above link? It is not really that surprising.</p>
<p>[NMT’s</a> 2010 common data set](<a href=“http://www.nmt.edu/common-data-set]NMT’s”>http://www.nmt.edu/common-data-set) indicates that the distribution of majors among the bachelor’s degrees conferred for 2010 was:</p>
<p>48.2% engineering
17.4% physical sciences
8.7% biological / life sciences
8.2% computer and information sciences
4.6% mathematics
2.1% natural resources / environmental science</p>
<p>i.e. 89.2% STEM.</p>
<p>versus:</p>
<p>6.2% general studies / liberal arts
2.1% business / marketing
1.5% English
1.0% psychology</p>
<p>i.e. 10.8% total non-STEM, if we assume that all “general studies / liberal arts” are non-STEM.</p>
<p>The next highest public university on the list, [url=<a href=“http://opa.berkeley.edu/statistics/cds/index.html]Berkeley[/url”>Common Data Set | Office of Planning and Analysis]Berkeley[/url</a>], shows 36% of bachelor’s degrees for everything that could be considered STEM.</p>
