Hi everyone! So I'm considering applying to the University of Southern California, but before I do, I wanted to know more about the diversity stats on campus. Can anyone provide me with some data on the racial/ethnic breakdown and inclusivity at USC? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! I'm glad to help with providing you with the racial/ethnic breakdown at the University of Southern California (USC). Here are the approximate diversity stats from the fall 2022 enrolled undergraduate students:
- White: 29%
- Asian: 24%
- Hispanic/Latino: 17%
- Black/African American: 6%
- International students: 14%
- Two or more races: 6%
- Native American/Pacific Islander: <1%
USC values inclusivity and is dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming environment for all students. They offer various cultural centers and campus resources, such as the Asian Pacific American Student Services, the Center for Black Cultural and Student Affairs, and El Centro Chicano y Latino, among others. Additionally, the USC Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion works to promote an inclusive campus environment and address any issues related to equity.
It's important to visit the campus (if possible) and research support and social organizations on campus to get a better sense of how well you might fit in and feel comfortable at USC. Make sure to reach out to current students, attend virtual events, and participate in online forums that focus on the campus environment.
Keep in mind that the experience of studying in a diverse environment can offer rich experiences, foster personal growth, and contribute to an inclusive and equitable society. Diversity statistics are just one of many factors to consider when choosing a college, and I hope this information helps you as you research USC and make your decision. Good luck!
