Abstract
This article was designed to examine two premises (a) that social and economic changes are accompanied by modifications in enrollment and degree patterns in higher education and (b) more specifically, that community/junior colleges may be a sensitive barometer to enrollment and degree patterns associated with social and economic change. The findings, based on education statistics from 1969‐1988, are perceived to support the premises. Higher education campuses from community/ junior colleges to four year colleges and graduate institutions are no longer dominated by male students. Female students constitute the new majority in most degree programs from associate degrees to graduate degrees with few exceptions. The findings are discussed and conclusions are reported.
