XAVIER PHYSICAL SCIENCES RANK HIGH IN DIVERSE ISSUES REPORT

A special report by Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine once again provides documentation of Xavier's success.

In its annual "Top 100 Graduate Degree Producers" issue (July 2012), the magazine shows XU Physical Sciences ranking first in the nation in the number of African American students earning baccalaureate degrees.

The Diverse Issues report is based on a review of the 2010-2011 preliminary data distributed by the U.S. Department of Education. The magazine has reported on degrees conferred since 1992, tracking trends in degree conferrals to African American and other minority students.
