It stands to reason that companies will be looking for more diverse employees, and the Robinson College is committed to educating those workers. In the fall of 2020, the school welcomed the largest and most diverse group of grad students in its history.
Fifty-five percent of the 862 students who made up that class were women. In addition, more than half (51.4 percent) identified as racial or ethnic minorities. Of that number, 39.7 percent were Black or African American, 6.9 percent were Hispanic, 4.7 percent were multiracial, and 0.1 percent were American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Native Hawaiian. Students represented 45 countries, 27 states, and the District of Columbia.
