Ott, Mary Diederich.
Tables show first-year enrollment, total enrollment, and number of degrees awarded for each year, by sex. For medicine, data are also given on medical school applicants and acceptances. For dentistry, data on applicants are given. For veterinary medicine, data on acceptances are given. Results show that during the six years of the survey, the participation of women in first-professional degree programs has increased rapidly. Between 1969-70 and 1974-75 the percentage of women enrolled has risen: (1) in medicine, from 9.0 to 18.1 percent; (2) in dentistry, from 1.4 to 7.0 percent; (3) in veterinary medicine, from 8.8 to 20.4 percent; and (4) in law, from 7.0 to 20.0 percent.
