Not only does Berkeley have detailed racial breakdowns, but it also has 
detailed racial backgrounds for discipline areas (social sciences, 
humanities, engineering, etc.)  In addition, many Berkeley departments list 
the names of their graduate students.  Berkeley is 10 percent Jewish at the 
undergraduate level and 20 percent at the graduate level.  Asians are 41 
percent of undergrads and 16 percent of graduate students.  Arguably, 
Berkeley is the best graduate school in the US.


Here are some figures for Fall 1998.  


Chinese:  21% of all undergrads, 6.9% of graduate students.  Of BA's by 
discipline in 97/98:  
31.8% biological sciences
31.5% chemistry
24.3% engineering
20.1% physical sciences
15.5% social sciences
10.9% business
7.8% humanities


East Indian/Pakistani:  3.7% of undergrads, 2.7% of graduate students
BA's by discipline:
6.3% chemistry
5.1% business
4.6% biological sciences
3.8% engineering
2.5% social sciences
1.3% humanities


I have no idea to determine the proportion of Jews by major.  But if you have 
the time, you can look at graduate departments.
