Demographics

Students in Washington's higher education system reflect the backgrounds and educational needs of a diverse society and economy.  The demographic mix of students on today's college campuses is influenced by changes in Washington’s broader population and by efforts to expand college access to a new generation of students whose families may not have experienced higher education in the past.
