In terms of enrollment in universities and junior colleges in 1975, classified by the field of specialization, three fields of social science, engineering and humanities form a higher-ranking group, while the fields of pharmacology, science, medicine and dentistry, and agriculture form the lower-ranking group, as shown in Chart 1-31.
As for the state of growth of enrollment, as indicated by the "growth index calculated with its 1960 level as 100," enrollment in the engineering field shows the highest growth, followed by that in home economics, humanities and science in that order.
Transition in the proportion of enrollment in universities (undergraduate courses) and junior colleges (regular courses), classified by the field of specialization is shown in Chart 1-32.
In universities, the proportion of enrollment in the field of social science is the highest, followed by that in the fields of engineering and humanities, whereas the proportion of enrollment is less than 5% in the fields of science, agriculture and pharmacology. While no major change has been seen in the proportion of enrollment in the various fields of specialization during the last 15 years, a relatively large increase was shown in the proportion of enrollment in the engineering field from 1960 through 1965. It can be ascribed to the increased admission of students to the fields of science and engineering, implemented as a part of the long-term economic plan that started in 1957 and the plan to double the national income that began in 1961.
As for junior colleges, the proportion of enrollment in the fields of humanities and education has been on the increase, while that in the fields of social science and engineering has been on the decline.
