classmates Our student body is diverse with regard to gender, age, ethnicity, life experience, and military background.

In the 2012-2013 academic year, our graduate students are 26% male and 74% female. Student ethnic backgrounds are varied: 78.7% self-identified as White; 8.5% as Black; 4.3% as Hispanic; 4.3% as Asian; and 4.3% as Other. Student ages range from early 20s through early 40s. Some students are single, some are married, and some have children.

Some students begin graduate study at USU immediately after finishing a bachelor's degree, others come to USU after completing a master's degree, and other students have worked for years before entering the program. Among the military students, some come directly from service academies, some have served as officers for years, some come from enlisted ranks, and some are civilians who join the military when they begin the program.
