Hi there! As part of my college research, I'm keen to understand the diversity and demographics of George Mason University. Has anyone done some research on this? I want to get a sense of the student body's makeup - race, gender, international vs domestic students etc. Shoot that info if you've got any!
Absolutely, I can definitely provide some information on George Mason University's demographics. As of 2022 data, the racial and ethnic makeup of both undergraduate and graduate students could be broadly broken down as follows:
- About 36.8% of students identify as White.
- About 19% of students identify as Asian.
- About 14.4% of students identify as Hispanic/Latino.
- About 11.4% of students identify as Black or African American.
- About 4.01% of students identify as two or more races.
In terms of gender, the student body at GMU is approximately 51% female and 49% male.
Students from all around the world choose to pursue their studies at GMU, and the university has a vibrant community of international students. As per the latest information available, international students make up approximately 11% of the total student body. The majority of the student population, however, is domestic, with a strong representation from the state of Virginia itself.
These figures do change from year to year so it's also worth looking at the school's official website or contacting the admissions office for the most recent statistics. I hope this gives you a clearer picture of the student body at GMU!
