#1 - Anonymous - Sophomore - Chemical Engineering

To be successful in my major, you must be adaptable with science and math.  You must be able to take in various amounts and types of information.  It requires having lots of patience and the ability to take on heavy amounts of work.  As far as numbers, my classes are more male dominant.  Females represent a lower number but still perform well.  Work is distributed evenly.  This is solely lower in numbers.  Females still perform to a high degree.  

#2 - Anonymous - Alumnus - Sociology

I have taken various Sociology classes that were predominately female.  Sociology used to have multiple subsections within the degree, such as Social Psychology or Demography.  For the Social Psychology focus, you would see an overwhelming number of women.  However, the classes tailored towards analysis and statistics were more blended between genders.  

#3 - Anonymous - Sophomore  - English 

When I was getting ready for my first semester at UMD, I expected my major to be predominately female.  That was the stereotype I was told.  When I got here, I was surprised to see that it was about 50/50 male to female.  

#4 - This can be you!
