American colleges with least Asian population

I'm considering colleges to apply to and diversity is important to me. I'd like to know which American colleges have the least Asian population? I'm asking purely for diversity reasons and not in a negative way, I promise.

I understand that you're looking for a diverse college experience, and that can definitely include attending a school where a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds are represented. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) keeps stats on racial and ethnic diversity at all U.S. colleges but doesn't necessarily rank colleges by ethnicity population percentage.

However, it's good to remember that less representation of a specific ethnicity doesn't necessarily equate to more diversity. For instance, a college that has a low percentage of Asian students may still lack diversity if its student body is predominantly white.

To give you a bit of direction, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) often have smaller Asian populations due to their focus on serving black and Hispanic students, respectively. Examples of HBCUs are Howard University and Spelman College, and HSIs include the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and Florida International University. However, these universities also provide strong support and opportunities for the racial and ethnic groups they primarily serve, so considering your fit is important.

Additionally, certain colleges in the Midwest or the South, like University of Wyoming or Mississippi State University, might have a lower Asian population due to demographics of these regions.

Remember, a balanced and diverse college population can be achieved in many ways and through many factors. Including racial and ethnic, but also socio-economic, geographic, age group, and more. I suggest looking at diversity as one factor of many in your college search, but not the only factor. It's truly important to find a school that fits your academic, social, and personal needs. No decision should be made solely on ethnic distribution.
