A diverse student population makes for a rich, more relevant learning environment - particularly among adult learners, who often are willing, able and eager to share their life and career experiences inside the college classroom.
So with Bellevue University’s diverse student population, it’s no surprise we often hear from alumni about their amazing classroom experiences and how much they learned from their classmates.
This fall, more than 32 percent of Bellevue University’s 8,278 students are minorities. Minorities, as defined by the U.S. Department of Education, include the following groups: black, non-Hispanic; Hispanic; Asian/Pacific Islander; and American Indian/Native Alaskan.
The largest minority group at Bellevue University is black, non-Hispanic, with 1,037 students. Next is Hispanic, with 526, and Asian/Pacific Islander, with 191.
The university’s minority student population has grown steadily during recent years, from 30 percent in 2007 and 25 percent in 2006. One key factor to this growth is the university’s surging online student population, which pulls students from 48 states and countries worldwide. More than 70 percent of the university’s students now take online courses.
