The College of Charleston features a notably skewed gender enrollment distribution that heavily favors female students. Institutional demographic data indicates that the male-to-female ratio hovers around 32 to 38 percent male compared to 62 to 68 percent female. This pattern is reflective of many comprehensive liberal arts and public institutions that feature large undergraduate enrollments in fields traditionally drawing higher female academic interest, such as education, communication, marine biology, art history, and nursing.
