BackgroundThe following is based on self-reported information solicited from all students once they arrived on campus. A total of 39% of freshmen are US citizens or Permanent Residents from minority groups. Categories do not add up to 100% because 17% of freshmen in these groups indicated two or more ethnicities and are therefore counted in more than one category.
