The chart demonstrates how different subjects were chosen by students in a university in 2012. In general, it shows that social science was the subject in which the highest number of students participated, while agriculture had the fewest students. Another worthy observation is that males were dominant in science, engineering, and math, whereas it is more common for females to study social science, health, and humanities. Agriculture has similar males and females.
According to the chart, social science outnumbers other subjects with the highest amount of 7000 students in total. This is nearly double the number of students choosing engineering, which is 3000 students. Below social science and engineering are three subjects with little difference from each other, which are humanities, health, science and math, these subjects remain around 2000 students. At the end is agriculture with about 200 students studying. These figures show that university students in 2012 had more interest in science, health, and humanities than they do in agriculture.
Besides, genders in the chart also show some great observations. Females outnumber males in 3 subjects, social science, health, and humanities. In social science and health, there is a big gap of around 1000 females higher than males. This goes the same with humanities, the disparity is a little lower, males less than females 500 students. Meanwhile, males outnumber females in 2 subjects, engineering, science and math. In a similar pattern, males are higher than females about 1000 students in engineering and 500 students in science and math. As for agriculture, it is the only subject that has the same number of students, which is 200 students for each gender. These figures also show that there is a fairly even distribution between females and males among the subjects, the disparity only moves around 1000 students or below for each subject.
