The total number of new computer science (CS) graduates in the United States of America and in Canada has consistently grown over the past decade, jumping from nearly ** thousand in 2010 to over ** thousand new graduates in 2022. Bachelor's graduates represent the vast majority of the total figure, where the most significant increase happened.
CS graduates still majority males
The share of male computer science new graduates is drastically higher than female and nonbinary graduates, both for bachelor's and master's degrees. The percentage of graduates identifying themselves as female was, nevertheless, higher for master's degree than bachelor's across all observed years. This suggests that females are more willing, proportionately, to stick with the education path and go into the academic side of CS.
Europe follows a similar trend
Females in Europe were, in general, a higher ratio of CS students compared to the United States and Canada. Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey were particularly strong in females taking part in CS education, accounting for over **% students.
