If you aggregate psych+social science, and math/cs/eng, the growth rates are 56% and 48%, respectively. That’s not a massive difference. Math in particular has (weirdly) grown a lot.
But that said, as we increase college enrollment without improving the fundamentals (leading to stuff like the mentioned remedial course changes), the value of a degree for the average person is going to go down while cost goes up. I suspect this drives a lot of the concern about student loan debt.
