Student satisfaction with opportunities to interact with people from different backgrounds was a factor in the ranking, along with data from the U.S. Education department around ethnic diversity among students and faculty. Students from lower-income backgrounds, students with disabilties and international students were also taken into account in the measurement.

The diversity ranking is part of The Wall Street Journal/College Pulse 2024 Best Colleges in the U.S. rankings, which highlighted the transformative impact of a CSUN education. CSUN was named the No. 2 public university in California and No. 12 in the nation.
