Graduating Black Students

The stories out of Missouri (and Yale, and elsewhere) have raised issues of African Americans and universities. On a data whim, I looked at which schools and colleges at UGA graduate with degrees the greatest percentage of black students. Below, the quick results (hey, it's Friday, it's gonna be quick). First, a methodological note: these are undergraduate bachelors degrees from the Athens campus and excludes Pharmacy, as it doesn't really do a bachelors.

Below, ranked in order of greatest percentage of blacks compared to all students:

  1. Social Work (10.l5%)
  2. Public Health (9.4%)
  3. Ag & Environmental (9.0%)
  4. Family & Consumer (8.7%)
  5. Journalism & Mass Comm (8.1%)
  6. Arts & Sciences (7.9%)
  7. Public & Intl Affairs (6.2%)
  8. Education (5.5%)
  9. Business (5.2%)
  10. Forestry & Natl Resources (3.8%)
  11. Engineering (1.9%)
  12. (tie) Ecology and Environment & Design (0.0%). Congrats.
