### STUDENTS

 College can be one of the more constructive times in one's life; it's a time for individual growth and maturation. Undergrads begin to find out their values and cultivate many of the rudimentary skills to be a prosperous adult. But growth is more than sitting in a classroom environment - the interactions one has with her classmates, the personal lesson gained from an old professor, the exposure to a different viewpoint. As such, attending a diverse college vastly enhances what one gains from the time at university.

 Civil Engineering Technologies is a less ethnically diverse focus than average\*. 70% of the nation's Civil Engineering Technologies majors are white students, followed by students of other races\*\*(13%), black students (8%), and latino students (8%). The most racially diverse college\* in the top 100 is [Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus](/colleges/fairleigh-dickinson-university-metropolitan-campus)&nbspin Teaneck, NJ.

 Additionally, Civil Engineering Technologies is the the 9th most male dominated major, with 88% of students identify as men. [SUNY College of Technology at Canton](/colleges/suny-college-of-technology-at-canton) in Canton, NY has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

 Another substantial type of diversity is socioeconomic diversity. Sadly, Civil Engineering Technologies ranks in the bottom 18% of focuses class diversity. 35% of its majors come from families taking in below $30,000 a year, 16% are from homes that bring in between $30,000 and $48,000 a year, and 18% grew up in high income families. [University of Maine](/colleges/university-of-maine) is the most socioeconomically diverse college in the top 100.

 Considering each type of diversity, overall NJ is the most diverse state for Civil Engineering Technologies. The Plains is the most diverse region, and the Northeast Conference is the most diverse conference.
