College often can be a fabulously productive adventure in one's life; it's a time for individual growth and maturation. Pupils try to realize their values and cultivate the essential skills to become a prosperous member of society. But learning goes far beyond a classroom - the late nights discussing Margaret Thatcher with a peer, the nugget of wisdom learned from an old professor, the exposure to a different point of view. Therefore, attending a diverse college vastly enriches what you gain from your time spent in college.

Visual and Performing Arts is a more ethnically diverse focus than average*. 52% of the nation's Visual and Performing Arts majors are white students, followed by latino students (19%), students of other races**(13%), and asian students (9%).

In addition, Visual and Performing Arts significatly skews female, with 57% of students majoring in Visual and Performing Arts identifying as women. The most gender balanced school in the top 100 is Blackburn College in Carlinville, IL.

Another significant type of diversity is economic diversity. Visual and Performing Arts is more socioeconomically diverse than 71% of programs. 27% of its majors come from families who bring in over $110,000 per year, 16% are from lower income homes, and 26% grew up in households with a sub $30,000 income.
