The pie charts compare the percentage of students who enrolled in various types of degrees in Canadian university for the two years 1980 and 2000.
Overall, as can be seen from the chart, the vast majority of Bachelor’s degrees made up a greatest figure in both surveyed years, although it decreased moderately over the period of time. Additionally, Associate, Doctoral and master’s degrees fall within the researched year, among which, the rise of Master’s degree was noticeable.
To begin with, in 1980 the percentage of Bachelor’s degrees was the highest, which made up over three-quarters of total, before declining modestly to 42% in 2000. The Master’s degrees rate accounted for 9% after the period of 10 years, this figure increased sharply to nearly 4 times higher than that of 1980, at 35%.
Turning to the remaining categories, the percentage of Associate Degree was 13%, which was 6 times higher than that of Doctoral rate and increased slightly to 18% in 2000. Meanwhile, Doctoral degrees in both surveyed years occupied a minimal figure, in spite of an increase in the end of the research, with 2% and 5%, respectively.
