nsf.gov Graduate Enrollment in Science and Engineering Grew Substantially in the Past Decade but Slowed in 2010 NSF 12-317 \| May 2012 \| PDF by Kelly Kang [1] Approximately 632,700 graduate students were enrolled in science, engineering, and health (SEH) programs in the United States as of fall 2010, a 30% increase from approximately 493,300 students in 2000, according to the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS).
