2023 Computer Graphics Students

STUDENTS

College is a supremely constructive period in one's life; it is a chance for individual progress and evolution. Students try to capture who they can be and build many of the integral skills to be a flourishing member of society. But learning is not entirely confined to a classroom - the late nights discussing Marx with a schoolmate, the personal lesson learned from a tenured instructor, the exposure to a different viewpoint. As such, a diverse student experience vastly improves what one gains from the time spent in school.

Computer Graphics is a more racially diverse subject than average*. 52% of the United States' Computer Graphics majors are white students, followed by students of other races**(23%), latino students (14%), and asian students (7%). The most ethnically diverse college* in the top 100 is Purdue University Northwest located in Hammond, IN.

Additionally, Computer Graphics is pretty diverse regarding sex, with roughly one out of every two students majoring in Computer Graphics identifying as women. The most gender balanced school in the top 100 is Johnson & Wales University-Providence in Providence, RI.

Another substantial type of diversity is socioeconomic diversity. Computer Graphics is more fiscally diverse than 62% of subjects. 30% of its majors come from families that make under $30,000 a year, 16% are from households with $30,000 to $48,000 annual incomes, and 23% grew up in homes that make above $110,000 a year. College of Our Lady of the Elms is the most economically diverse institution in the top 100.

Considering each type of diversity, overall TX is the most diverse state for Computer Graphics. The Southwest is the most diverse region, and the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is the most diverse conference.
