STUDENTS

College often is a very poignant period of one's life; it's a time for individual growth and maturation. Undergraduates start to find out their values and learn many of the essential skills to be a flourishing adult. But learning goes far beyond the classroom - the discussions one has with his schoolmates, the personal lesson gained from a tenured professor, the exposure to a different viewpoint. Therefore, finding a diverse college vastly enriches what one gains from the time spent at university.

Accounting and Finance is a slightly more racially diverse major than average*. 60% of the United States' Accounting and Finance majors are white students, followed by students of other races**(20%), asian students (9%), and black students (6%). The most racially diverse college* in the top 100 is Johnson & Wales University-Charlotte located in Charlotte, NC.

Secondly, Accounting and Finance slightly skews male, with 42% of majors identifying as men. Johnson & Wales University-Charlotte in Charlotte, NC has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

Another substantial type of diversity is financial diversity. Sadly, Accounting and Finance is less socioeconomically diverse than 88% of focuses in the United States. 33% of its students come from very high income households, 15% are from families with $75,000 to $110,000 annual incomes, and 25% grew up in homes who take home less than $30,000 a year. Maryville College is the most fiscally diverse school in the top 100.

Considering each type of diversity, overall NC is the most diverse state for Accounting and Finance. The Mid East is the most diverse region, and the Colonial Athletic Association is the most diverse conference.
