College can be a supremely impactful time in one's life; it's a time for individual progress and development. Pupils start to ascertain what they are capable of and develop many of the necessary skills to become a prosperous member of society. But learning goes far beyond a classroom environment - the campus dialogue, the wild anecdote learned from an eccentric professor, the exposure to a different frame of reference. As such, attending a diverse college vastly improves what you gain from your time spent in college.

Pre-Law Studies is a less ethnically diverse major than average*. 77% of the United States' Pre-Law Studies majors are white students, followed by black students (10%), latino students (9%), and students of other races**(2%). The most racially diverse college* in the top 100 is Ball State University&nbspin Muncie, IN.

In addition, Pre-Law Studies is diverse when it comes to sex, with 51% of students majoring in Pre-Law Studies identifying as women. The most gender balanced school in the top 100 is Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA.

Another substantial type of diversity is economic diversity. Pre-Law Studies is the 27th most economically diverse subject in the nation. 26% of its majors come from families with $110,000 plus annual incomes, 18% are from upper income families, and 25% grew up in households with a sub $30,000 yearly income. Ball State University is the most fiscally diverse college in the top 100.

Considering each type of diversity, overall VA is the most diverse state for Pre-Law Studies. The Southeast is the most diverse region, and the Big South Conference is the most diverse conference.
