For the past 10 years women at UC Davis have been outpacing their male counterparts in earning bachelor's degrees. Last year, 55 percent of the nearly 2,000 bachelor's degrees awarded were earned by women, according to Arthur Amos, a campus research analyst in student affairs research and information. In addition, he says, women earned 41 percent of master's degrees, 32 percent of doctoral degrees and 50 percent of professional degrees issued by the campus last year. Still in question, though, are the professional futures of these women. That's the concern of Michele Foster, associate professor of education and African and African American Studies at UC Davis, and a member of the campus Pro Femina (on behalf of women) Research Consortium. For example, those women choosing to become professors in higher education will likely join a profession that will become more feminized. "The norms of the academy of higher education may alter significantly as more women enter the field," says Foster.
