The data shows another interesting trend: Hispanic students who pursue higher degrees are more likely to enroll in EMBA programs than MBA or doctoral programs. By contrast, there are fewer women in EMBA programs than any other MA Generalist/ MBA Equivalent 0.5% 8.8% 6.9% 6.4% 65.6% 11.8% 87.8% 12.2% 63.2% 36.8% EMBA MA Specialist 0.4% 8.4% 8.8% 10.9% 59.7% 11.8% 85.9% 14.1% 69.9% 30.1% 0.4% 10.5% 7.7% 7.8% 63.2% 10.5% 76.0% 24.0% 52.0% 48.0% Doctoral 0.6% 13.8% 4.9% 3.9% 68.4% 8.4% 54.2% 45.8% 61.2% 38.8% kind. And while undergraduate programs tend to be dominated by U.S. citizens, international students make up a bigger proportion of the enrollments at each successive degree level, until they represent almost 46 percent of doctoral programs.
