Rutgers' undergraduate student body reflects New Jersey's rich racial and ethnic diversity: in Fall 1996, the undergraduate enrollment was approximately 55% white, 16% Asian, 11% African-American, 10% Latino, 2% foreign, and 6% other/unknown. According to a survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education (March 24, 1996), Rutgers ranks second among public AAU institutions in the percentage of African-American student enrollment, sixth in the percentages of Asian, seventh in the percentages of Latino enrollment, and fourth in total minority enrollment. Graduate and professional student enrollment figures show a slightly different racial and ethnic distribution. In Fall 1996, 59% of graduate students were white, 7% African-American, 7% Asian, 4% Latino, 13% foreign, and 10% other/unknown. There has been tremendous growth in enrollments
at Rutgers over the last 40 years. The student body has more
than tripled in size since the late 1950s, with most growth occurring
during the late 1960s and 1970s.
