2023 Bible Studies Students

STUDENTS

College can be an awfully significant time of one's life; it's an opportunity for individual progress and development. Undergraduates continue to capture who they are and learn the integral skills to be a thriving member of society. But learning is deeper than what one learns in a classroom environment - the campus dialogue, the life lesson gained from an eccentric instructor, the exposure to a different vantage point. As such, attending a diverse college vastly improves what you gain from your time at university.

Bible Studies is a less ethnically diverse major than average*. 79% of the United States' Bible Studies majors are white students, followed by students of other races**(8%), black students (5%), and asian students (4%). The most ethnically diverse college* in the top 100 is Palm Beach Atlantic University located in West Palm Beach, FL.

Secondly, Bible Studies slightly skews male, with 2 out of 5 majors identifying as men. College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, MO has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

Another significant type of diversity is financial diversity. Bible Studies is the 17th most socioeconomically diverse major in the United States. 27% of its majors come from very high income homes, 20% are from homes who earn between $75,000 and $110,000 a year, and 21% grew up in low income homes. Truett McConnell University has the most economically diverse student body in the top 100.

Considering each type of diversity, overall FL is the most diverse state for Bible Studies. The Far West is the most diverse region, and the Sunshine State Conference is the most diverse conference.
