Abstract

My research consisted of data showing whether or not college degrees ware evenly distributed based on regionality. Based off of the national average top ten degrees earned from Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS), I focused on the most popular and the least popular degrees in each region of the United States. I found that there is a difference between the expected distribution of degrees vs. the observed distribution of degrees in every region.
