2023 Management Science Students

STUDENTS

College can be a fabulously meaningful period in one's life; it is an opportunity for personal growth and development. Pupils start to discover who they can be and forge the requisite skills to become a prosperous member of society. But growth is more than what one learns in a classroom - the late nights discussing Langston Hughes with a classmate, the funny story learned from an old professor, the exposure to a different background. Therefore, finding a diverse college vastly enriches what you gain from your time spent in university.

Management Science is a more ethnically diverse subject than average*. 50% of the United States' Management Science majors are white students, followed by students of other races**(26%), asian students (10%), and latino students (8%). The most racially diverse college* in the top 100 is Trinity University located in San Antonio, TX.

In addition, Management Science slightly skews male, with a tad below three out of every seven majors identifying as men. Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

Another important type of diversity is economic diversity. Management Science ranks around the median for economic diversity (57th percentile). 29% of its students come from very high income families, 15% are from families with $48,000 to $75,000 annual incomes, and 26% grew up in low income households. Central Methodist University-College of Graduate and Extended Studies has the most financially diverse student body in the top 100.

Considering each type of diversity, overall NJ is the most diverse state for Management Science. The Mid East is the most diverse region, and the The Summit League is the most diverse conference.
