STUDENTS

College often is an exceedingly constructive time in one's life; it is an opportunity for individual growth and development. Undergrads begin to discover what they can become and develop the imperative skills to be a prosperous member of society. But learning is more than sitting in the classroom - the late nights discussing James Baldwin with a schoolmate, the wild anecdote gained from an old instructor, the exposure to a different life experience. Therefore, a diverse univeristy experience greatly improves what one gains from the time spent at college.

Sculpture is a less ethnically diverse subject than average*. 66% of the United States' Sculpture majors are white students, followed by students of other races**(14%), latino students (9%), and black students (6%). The most racially diverse college* in the top 100 is SUNY at Purchase College located in Purchase, NY.

Moreover, Sculpture significatly skews female, with 70% of students majoring in Sculpture identifying as women. The most gender balanced school in the top 100 is University of New Haven in West Haven, CT.

Another substantial type of diversity is class diversity. Sculpture is more financially diverse than 76% of majors. 28% of its students come from homes who take home over $110,000 per year, 17% are from homes that make between $48,000 and $75,000 a year, and 24% grew up in homes bringing in below $30,000 a year. Virginia Commonwealth University has the most economically diverse student body in the top 100.
