CSULB Recognized for its Diversity

Cal State Long Beach has again been recognized for its diversity. The most recent recognition of the school’s diversity is the ranking of no. 12 in the most recent listing of the “Top 100 Degree Producers” by Diverse Issues in Higher Education. CSULB was ranked in conferring baccalaureate degrees to minority students. This ranking is up one spot from last year.

The “Top 100” is a list of the best minority degree-awarding institutions of higher education in the nation. It is the only national report that showcases the success of U.S. colleges and universities in awarding degrees to African American, Asian American, Latino and Native American students. It is also the only national analysis to use the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education.

Using these statistics, rankings are created in the total number of baccalaureate degrees awarded at every university and college in the nation by ethnicity as well as specific figures in major fields of study or disciplines.

Among individual ethnicities, CSULB was also ranked no. 9 nationally in awarding bachelor’s degrees to Hispanics, no. 13 to Asian Americans and no. 16 to Native Americans.

CSULB has been ranked no. 1 in awarding undergraduate degrees to minority students in three different major areas, family and consumer sciences, English language and literature and visual and performing arts. Additionally, the campus is ranked no. 1 in awarding English degrees to Hispanic, Asian American and Native American students, and family and consumer science degrees to Hispanics.
