Abstract
This study focuses on the investigation of the course choices made by undergraduates of different gender in Computer Science (CS). For this purpose, the degrees of all graduates (89 graduates) from the CS and Technology Department at University of Peloponnese, Tripoli, Greece, since its establishment were studied. The analysis of the data shows that: (a) the percentage of female graduates is lower than the percentage of male graduates, (b) higher percentage of girls choose courses that belong to the ‘Theoretical CS’ division, (c) higher percentage of boys choose courses that belong to the ‘Software Systems’ division, (d) girls seemed to not prefer programming ‘lab-based’ courses, (e) girls and boys chose equally courses from the ‘Computer Technology and Computer Systems’ division, but some of these courses are not selected by any of the girls, (f) more girls than boys choose ‘General Education’ courses, and (g) higher percentage of girls choose courses related to humanities and social sciences.
