What Does UCSB Look Like
End of Navigation
The UCSB community may be more or less diverse than your home community, but it
will no doubt be different in many ways. Graphs and charts can only represent the
kinds of diversity that are quantifiable, but the following information should provide
you with a sense of the make-up of the campus community. UCSB has some ground to
cover before our campus population is as diverse as the State of California, but
each year improvements are made on all fronts through the efforts of concerned students,
faculty, and the administration. You might be interested to know that UCSB has more
than doubled the percentage of enrolled undergraduate ethnic minority students in
the last twenty years.

The above statistics represent UCSB's entering class of 2007-2008.
Sexual Orientation
Although there is no way to represent statistics on the sexual orientation of students,
staff, and faculty in the UCSB community, research in the general population indicates
that anywhere from 10% to 15% of the population identifies themselves as gay, lesbian,
or bisexual.
