More Women Getting Started On STEM Degrees
Approximately 60 years ago, Census data from the 1950’s showed that only 8% of those in the field of science were women. The STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) saw a definite increase as of the year 2000, with 26% of those in the field now women. This is certainly not indicative of the amount of women in the work force as a whole, currently 47% of the nation. The availability of obtaining an online IT degree is opening doors for women to enter these fields, allowing them to study while caring for children and while working.
