These days, college lecture halls in the United States are being filled more and more by female rather than male students. Women now make up 55 percent of the college population—and that number continues to rise. Within ten years, three million more women than men may be attending US colleges.
Thirty years ago, male students were the majority on college campuses in the Unites States. Traditionally men acted as the breadwinner of the family and college was seen as the path to career advancement and higher salaries. But during the feminist movements of the 1970s, more women aspired to having careers and enrolled in college to pursue a degree. By the mid-1980s, more women than men were attending college.
At the same time, there was an unexpected decline in the number of males applying to college. Educators are still uncertain of the cause of this decline, but it continues to affect enrollment numbers for men in higher education. Researchers have suggested a number of theories to account for males’ seeming decline in interest in seeking college degrees.
