Diversity at UMass Boston
• 41 percent of UMass Boston’s nearly 16,000 students are ethnic minorities or students of color, and they hail from more than 80 countries, making it the most diverse university in Massachusetts and one of the most diverse public universities in the United States.
• In 2011 more than 40% of our new students reported their race or ethnicity as other than white/non-Hispanic.
• In addition, 56% of our undergraduate and 69% of our graduate students are women.

• Campus diversity initiatives have positive effects on both minority and majority students. They improve students' relationships on campus and affect positively their satisfaction and involvement with their institutions and their academic growth.
• Beyond their proven capacity to improve access and retention of underrepresented groups of students, comprehensive diversity initiatives also promote satisfaction, academic success, and cognitive development for all students.

• In order to achieve the university's mission to "provide a supportive environment for students who represent many national and cultural origins," it is important for students to "see" themselves in the faculty and staff who serve them.
