CSUSB was also listed among the top 10 colleges and universities conferring master’s degrees to Hispanics in the fields of mathematics and statistics (sixth); and English language and literature/letters (seventh).
In conferring master’s degrees collectively to African American, Asian American, Hispanic and Native American students, CSUSB was listed among the top 10 colleges and universities in the fields of mathematics and statistics (10th).
“The rankings reflect our commitment to opening more doors to higher education for our diverse communities as well as ensuring that, once here, our students successfully complete their studies and graduate,” said CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales. “It’s gratifying to be considered among the nation’s leading universities in that many of our students are the first in their families to be awarded college degrees.”
