In 2015, the discipline categories changed.
- Chemistry, Geosciences and Physics/Astronomy were combined into Physical Sciences.
- Environmental Science was renamed Natural Resources and Conservation.
- Life/Biological Sciences were renamed Biological Sciences.
- Four new disciplines were added:
- Architecture
- Business and Management
- Engineering Technologies
- Interdisciplinary Studies
- These new categories will only have data from 2015 forward.
