Graduate students with disabilities differ somewhat from students without disabilities in their distribution across disciplines.

A higher percentage of graduate students with disabilities than without disabilities were in social/behavioral sciences and in education.
Similar percentages of graduate students with and without disabilities were enrolled in graduate programs in three broad field groups: life/physical sciences; humanities; and law in 2004.
A lower percentage of graduate students with disabilities than without was in the combined engineering/computer sciences/mathematics fields.
