Hi all, I'm seriously considering UCF for my undergrad studies. Can anyone elaborate on the student body's demographics? Like, what's the makeup in terms of ethnicity, majors, and in-state vs. out-of-state students?
Sure, I can help there.
In terms of ethnicity, as of recent data, University of Central Florida (UCF) has a reasonably diverse student body. Here is rough breakdown: about 43.5% of students identify as White, 29.2% as Hispanic/Latino, 9.2% as Black or African American, 7.5% as Asian, and the remaining percentage includes two or more races, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and others.
As for majors, UCF has a wide range of popular programs. Some of the most popular majors at UCF are Business Management, Health Professions, Engineering, Social Sciences, and Computer and Information Sciences.
Looking at the geographical breakdown, it's largely comprised of in-state students, primarily because UCF is a state school. More than 90% of UCF students are from Florida. The remaining students are from out of state or international locations.
Before making a decision, consider all these factors and visit the campus if possible. It's vital to get a feel for the community and see if it aligns with what you're looking for in a college experience. I hope this information helps!
