Females make up approximately what percent of the student population?

• A. 60 percent
• B. 66 percent
• C. 62 percent
• D. 64 percent

Answer: (C)

Understanding campus demographics, there is typically a female majority in higher education. The female share of students is about six in ten, so 62 percent is a solid approximation. It reflects the common pattern where enrollment of women slightly exceeds men at many schools. The other options are nearby but 62 percent lines up best with what is typically observed across institutions.
