2023 Digital Arts Students

STUDENTS

College is one of the more consequential times in one's life; it is an opportunity for personal growth and development. Pupils continue to realize who they are as people and cultivate many of the needed skills to be a halcyon adult. But learning is not confined to a classroom environment - the conversations one has with his schoolmates, the funny story learned from an old instructor, the exposure to a different approach. As such, finding a diverse college greatly improves what one gains from the time spent in university.

The most ethnically diverse college* in the top 100 is Otis College of Art and Design&nbspin Los Angeles, CA.

Second, Digital Arts is pretty diverse regarding gender, with a tad greater than 1/2 of students majoring in Digital Arts identifying as women. Blackburn College in Carlinville, IL has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

Another substantial type of diversity is class diversity.
