Rating 3 out of 5

The student body here is not very diverse. The students and faculty are mostly Caucasian and Asian. Representations are low for African American, Hispanic, Disabled, and LGBTQIA students. Also, there are many working adults with families that go back to school. This demographic is not represented in the student body either. Because of this, the faculty has a hard time communicating with students that fall into the minority. The JSOM Dean and advisors could use some diversity training. There is a small sprinkle of African American staff members but not enough to claim. The JSOM Dean office faculty has only one. The campus is beautiful and growing however if you fall into the minority at this school, prepare to be invited but not included. Also, the university does not have many online or evening classes available. This is not conducive to someone who is older than 30 and works full-time with a family. Good luck!!
