College rankings by U.S. News and World Report provide valuable information for high school students selecting a college or university. The Campus Ethnic Diversity ranking helps students identify schools where they are most like to encounter someone from an ethnic background different from their own. The rankings utilize enrollment data from each fall’s undergraduate student body, excluding international students, and calculate the total proportion of non-white students.
The formula gives each school a score between zero and one, with more diverse schools scoring closer to one. For the purposes of calculations, any student who chooses not to disclose his or her race is counted as white.
