<p>Note: The (white) male-female &#8220;achievement gap&#8221; with respect to bachelor degree completion is mostly found in a few subjects: nursing, education, psychology, communications, and the arts.  It is also predominantly occurring in fairly middling universities.  Males, by contrast, are found disproportionately in more technical, more quantitive, and generally what are traditionally vocationally-oriented majors (the main exceptions would be nursing and perhaps teaching).</p>
