How diverse is the student body? Are there support services or organizations for ethnic minorities and women?
Approximately 10 percent of the students in each class are under-represented minorities. Diversity also is seen in the range of geographic origins, career aspirations, life experiences, undergraduate majors and ages of the students. Approximately 50 percent of each class are women. UW School of Medicine and Public Health has an assistant dean for multicultural affairs and a special advisor for women’s issues.
