Abstract
One of the arguments in favour of single-sex schools for girls is that they encourage the study of traditionally male-dominated subjects. To test this hypothesis, the association between coeducation and faculty choice is examined for students from private schools entering Monash University in 1990 and 1992. No significant association is found for girls at non-Catholic independent schools or boys or girls at Catholic schools. For boys at non-Catholic independent schools, coeducation is associated with higher chance of studying science-based courses at university. There is a similar, but not statistically significant, association for girls at Catholic schools.
