Are Math and Engineering studies really on the decline or have the number of students enrolling increased at a much slower rate than liberal arts majors... coincidently isn't the proportion of women enrolling at college's increasing ?

Corelation does not imply causation I know, but still I yawn @ the obviousness of it all.

Also I was under the impression College's were meant to train you to become worthy of the 4 year degree. Not to serve as an approvals process for those already gifted ?
