Hey there, folks. Is anyone familiar with the demographics over at Boston College? Just curious about the racial, gender, geographic, etc. diversity over there. Any info would be awesome!
Boston College is a fairly diverse institution and its demographic data reflects this.
In terms of gender, Boston College has a pretty even split. The student body is approximately 54% female and 46% male.
When looking at racial diversity, the percentages according to the most recent data I have are approximately:
- 57% of students are White
- 11% are Hispanic or Latino
- 10% are Asian
- 5% are Black or African American
There is also a significant portion of international students at Boston College, which adds to the overall diversity of the school. These students represent more than 90 countries and make up about 11% of the student body.
Geographically, Boston College draws students from all over the United States, though there is a strong representation from the Northeast, particularly from the New England states and New York.
It's always a great idea to look at the healthcare, education, business, and other professional programs to see the array of interdisciplinary interests and backgrounds the student body encompasses. I hope this information helps!
