Health Sciences Campus Demographics

We are excited to share this data with you. The data represents over 10 years of student demographic trends over time, from Fall 2011 to Fall 2022. Of note, the Latinx (Hispanic or Latino) student representation has nearly tripled over the last decade, and the Asian student representation has doubled over the same time period. This is largely due to the excellent work in the undergraduate space in the Colleges of Health and Nursing. The graduate programs have improved at a much slower rate, but large demographic shifts in the Physician Assistant and Biomedical Sciences PhD programs have been drivers of the demographics in the graduate space. We recognize that students who identify as Black or African American, American Indian/Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, have largely been represented at the same level for the past decade. It is important to note however, that while we serve the state of Utah we recruit nationally for students and our student population still has a long way to go to approach national population parity.
