2023 Agricultural Mechanization Students

STUDENTS

College is a profoundly constructive investment in one's life; it is an opportunity for individual growth and maturation. Undergrads continue to learn who they desire to become and build many of the rudimentary skills to become a successful adult. But learning is more than sitting in a classroom - the campus dialogue, the wild anecdote received from an eccentric instructor, the exposure to a different vantage point. Therefore, finding a diverse college vastly improves what one gains from the time spent in school.

Agricultural Mechanization is in the bottom 10% of subjects for ethnic diversity*. It has the 3rd biggest share of white students. 92% of the United States' Agricultural Mechanization majors are white students, followed by latino students (4%), students of other races**(2%), and asian students (1%). The most ethnically diverse college* in the top 100 is North Carolina State University at Raleigh&nbspin Raleigh, NC.

Moreover, Agricultural Mechanization is the the 3rd most male dominated major, with 90% of students identify as men. The most gender balanced school in the top 100 is Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX.

Another substantial type of diversity is financial diversity. Agricultural Mechanization is the 9th most socioeconomically diverse subject in the nation. 27% of its majors come from families bringing in above $110,000 per year, 18% are from households making between $48,000 and $75,000 a year, and 22% grew up in low income households.

Considering each type of diversity, overall NC is the most diverse state for Agricultural Mechanization. The Southeast is the most diverse region, and the Atlantic Coast Conference is the most diverse conference.
