Hey guys, I'm planning to apply to CSUCI, but I'm curious about the demographics there. What's the student population like in terms of diversity, size, and other factors? Thanks for your help!
Hello! California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) is known for its smaller campus size and diverse student population, which creates a close-knit and supportive environment for students. Although demographics can change over time, currently the student population is approximately 7,000 with a diverse mix of ethnicities. Here's a rough breakdown:
- Hispanic/Latino: around 53%
- White: about 27%
- Asian: approximately 8%
- African American: approximately 3%
- Multiracial: around 4%
- Other/Unknown: about 5%
In addition, CSUCI has a fairly large percentage of first-generation college students, and the gender distribution is roughly 64% female and 36% male. The smaller campus size allows for more personalized attention and smaller class sizes, with a student-faculty ratio of around 22:1.
This diverse environment provides students with ample opportunities to learn from varying perspectives, enabling them to expand their worldview while pursuing their academic goals. Good luck with your application!
