下面是由USNews发布的2011年美国文理学院排名中，关于学生种族多样性Campus Ethnic Diversity National Liberal Arts Colleges的排名。这里的学生种族指的是美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民，亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民，非裔美国人，非西班牙裔，西班牙裔和拉美裔美国人。公式产生的多样性指数范围从0.0到1.0，学校的指数越是靠近1.0，学生种族的多样化就越明显。
Collegebound students who believe that studying with people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds is important will want to consider student-body diversity when choosing a school. To identify colleges where students are most likely to encounter undergraduates from racial or ethnic groups different from their own, U.S. News factors in the total proportion of minority students; leaving out international students; and the overall mix of groups. The data are drawn from each institution's 2009-2010 school year student body. The categories we use in our calculations are American Indians and Native Alaskans, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, African-Americans who are non-Hispanic, whites who are non-Hispanic, and Hispanics. Students who did not identify themselves as members of any demographic group were classified as whites who are non-Hispanic for the purpose of these calculations. Our formula produces a diversity index that ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. The closer a school's number is to 1.0, the more diverse is the student population.
