2023 Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications Students

STUDENTS

College is an awfully revelatory time of one's life; it is an occasion for individual growth and evolution. Undergrads try to figure out what they can be and forge the rudimentary skills to be a flourishing member of society. But learning also happens outside a classroom - the interactions which one has with her schoolmates, the nugget of wisdom gained from an old instructor, the exposure to a different approach. Therefore, finding a diverse college greatly enriches what you gain from your time in university.

Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications is a more popular major among students of color than white students. 48% of the US' Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications majors are white students, followed by latino students (18%), black students (15%), and students of other races**(10%).
