2023 Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods Students

STUDENTS

College can be an especially significant investment in one's life; it is an occasion for individual progress and development. Undergraduates start to discover their purpose and forge many of the necessary skills to become a flourishing member of society. But growth goes far beyond a classroom environment - the late nights discussing Marx with a classmate, the wild anecdote gained from an old instructor, the exposure to a different stance on an issue. As such, a diverse college experience vastly enhances what you gain from your time at university.

Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods is a more popular major among students of color than white students. 40% of the US' Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods majors are white students, followed by students of other races**(37%), asian students (12%), and latino students (7%). The most ethnically diverse college* in the top 100 is George Mason University located in Fairfax, VA.

In addition, Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods slightly skews male, with about 42.9% of majors identifying as men. Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

Another significant type of diversity is economic diversity. Sadly, Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods is one of the nation's least socioeconomically diverse subjects (Bottom 32%). 32% of its majors come from families with $110,000 plus annual incomes, 16% are from middle income homes, and 22% grew up in families with a sub $30,000 annual income. The University of Texas at Dallas is the most financially diverse school in the top 100.

Considering each type of diversity, overall NJ is the most diverse state for Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods. The Mid East is the most diverse region, and the Atlantic 10 Conference is the most diverse conference.
