Student Gender Diversity (as defined by IPEDS)
Note: We currently collect gender identity data as federally mandated by IPEDS, which only allows for binary data reporting. Recognizing that this data is incomplete and limiting, we estimate that somewhere between 7-12% of our students identify as nonbinary or gender nonconforming. We are working on developing a system for accurately and respectfully collecting and representing more inclusive gender identity data for our student body. We anticipate this being in place for the 2024-2025 academic year.
77% female
23% male
Student Ethnic Diversity
17% members of traditionally underrepresented race and ethnic groups
