CLU Diversity & Demographics

Diversity Makes a Difference

Diversity can be somewhat of a buzzword with university admissions officers and students. For the purposes of producing diversity scores, College Factual defines diversity as the most plurality. Schools that score high in diversity metrics are those with the greatest variety in ethnicity, gender, age, and geographic location of origin.

Questions About Diversity

  • What do we mean when we talk about diversity in college?

    Often when we speak of diversity, which is defined as "variety", what we mean is multiculturalism, or the acceptance of people of different ethnicities, cultures, races, beliefs and financial backgrounds. When most students seek diversity on a college campus, what they are seeking are opportunities to express themselves and find community with others who believe the same way, as well as opportunities to learn from those from different backgrounds and cultures.

  • Is CLU attracting students from all backgrounds?

    Schools with higher than average ethnic and location diversity still may not be diverse when it comes to other factors, such as income levels. Get a better idea of how CLU supports low-income students by visiting the Financial Aid Page.

  • Is Diversity Important to CLU?

    Contact the school to learn about what they are doing to promote diversity, and what student groups, clubs and associations are present that encourage diverse points of views on campus.
