Submitted by LiveScience Staff

New data show that enrollment in U.S. science and engineering graduate programs in 2007 grew 3.3 percent over comparable data for 2006 — the highest year-over-year increase since 2002 and nearly double the 1.7 percent increase seen in 2006.
Science programs added the most students in absolute numbers, but engineering's percentage growth over 2006, 5.9 percent, was substantially higher than that of science, which grew by 2.4 percent.
Enrollment in computer sciences programs was up 2.7 percent, the first increase since 2002.
