The line chart compares the number of male and female research students enrolling in six different computer science subjects as their major at a US university in 2011.
Overall, male students were predominant in all course, expect for linguistics and natural science. In addition, the most significant difference was recorded in the number of male and female learners enrolling in Mathematics.
As per the provided illustration, the number of male mathematics students stood at 200, almost seven times as many as female mathematics students, just 30 entrants in 2011. In contrast, the numbers of research students enrolling in psychology recorded a smaller gender gap than math, with 200 entrants for male students and approximately 175 entrants for female students. As opposed to this, engineering and programming attracted more males. The number of males pursing for both subjects was 150, approximately 75 higher than their female counterparts.
On the other hand, there was an opposite tendency for the number of female and male research students enrolling in Linguistics, with 120 entrants and 60 entrants, respectively. Finally, nature sciences is the most important area of qualifications, with 200 entrants for each gender.
