GW recognized for awarding most engineering degrees to women

The American Society for Engineering Education ranked GW the number one university for number of doctoral degrees awarded to women for 2003.

GW tied with the University of Illinois at Chicago in the category; both gave 31.4 percent of their doctoral engineering degrees to women. The universities awarded 11 women each with the degree last year. Colleges had to award at least 20 doctoral engineering degrees in 2003 in order to be eligible for the rankings. The rankings appear in this month’s issue of the ASEE magazine Prism.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, which has 13 female professors, also ranked 10th for the highest percentage of women faculty members with 13.3 percent.
