Females in computer science

Yes. Some universities are trying hard to increase the number and percentage of female computer science majors. There can be special scholarships, organizations and other opportunities offered to female computer science majors.

If you look at the admissions rates for male and female applicants to technical universities, you will find that many of them will have higher admission rates for females, apparently in an attempt to balance out the genders on campus and in majors like computer science.

The working world reflects this push for more females in computer science, and qualified females can get more interviews and potential offers down the road for internships and jobs.
