STUDENTS

College can be one of the more revelatory periods of one's life; it is an opportunity for personal progress and maturation. Pupils continue to ascertain what they can become and learn many of the crucial skills to be a flourishing adult. But learning goes far beyond the classroom - the campus dialogue, the wild anecdote gained from an old professor, the exposure to a different life experience. Therefore, a diverse student body greatly enhances what one gains from the time in college.

In addition, Agricultural Business and Management significatly skews male, with 62% of students majoring in Agricultural Business and Management identifying as men. Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, OK has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.
