### STUDENTS

 College often is an incredibly impactful adventure in one's life; it's a time for individual progress and development. Pupils continue to learn what they can be and develop many of the necessary skills to become a flourishing adult. But learning is more than sitting in a classroom environment - the discussions which one has with their schoolmates, the wild anecdote learned from an old instructor, the exposure to a different stance on an issue. Therefore, attending a diverse college vastly enhances what you gain from your time spent in school.

 Computer Systems Analysis is a more ethnically diverse major than average\*. 51% of the US' Computer Systems Analysis majors are white students, followed by students of other races\*\*(15%), asian students (13%), and latino students (13%). The most ethnically diverse college\* in the top 100 is [DeVry College of New York](/colleges/devry-college-of-new-york) located in New York, NY.

 Furthermore, Computer Systems Analysis significatly skews male, with a tad under 3 in 4 students majoring in Computer Systems Analysis identifying as men. [University of Denver](/colleges/university-of-denver) in Denver, CO has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

 Another important type of diversity is socioeconomic diversity. Sadly, Computer Systems Analysis is less financially diverse than 79% of focuses in the US. 33% of its majors come from families that take home below $30,000 a year, 15% are from families with $30,000 to $48,000 annual incomes, and 22% grew up in households taking in more than $110,000 a year. [DeVry University-New Jersey](/colleges/devry-university-new-jersey) has the most economically diverse student body in the top 100.

 Considering each type of diversity, overall NY is the most diverse state for Computer Systems Analysis. The Southwest is the most diverse region, and the Big Sky Conference is the most diverse conference.
