The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings are the latest to recognize CCNY's renowned diversity.
T¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s renowned diversity is once again a big hit in national college rankings – by The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education this time. Their 2016 rankings place City College at #2 for environment.
The rankings’ environment score encompasses several measures to gauge a school’s inclusiveness. They range from the percentage of first-time college graduates and Pell Grant recipients to the diversity of a school’s students and staff and the percentage of international students.
CCNY is cited for drawing a diverse student body and faculty from the largest city in the United States. And more than half of its undergraduates received Pell Grants, a subsidy for low-income students.
This latest recognition follows the U.S. News & World Report 2017 rankings that named CCNY as one of the nation’s most ethnically diverse institutions and ranked it #2 in that category among regional universities in the north.
Hispanics, at 32.5 percent, are the largest ethnic student group at CCNY. Asian Americans (26 percent), African-Americans (20 percent), and White (20 percent) are the other major ethnic groups. In addition, the student population hails from more than 150 nations.
