Among professional programs, the gender distribution is most unequal in business (largely male) and education (predominantly female).

The trend since 2003 has been proportionally fewer women in the professional schools. According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) 2007-08, UC enrolled substantially more women in medicine (52.1 percent) than did medical schools at research and doctoral institutions nationally (43.1 percent), and substantially fewer in business schools (29.8 percent) for UC compared to 48.6 percent at MBA programs at research and doctoral institutions nationally.
