The following tables show undergraduate and graduate student statistics within the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering at the University of Nevada Reno. The data is based on self-reported ethnicity and gender data. Please note that this data is required for federal reporting and uses a federal definition of binary gender identity. The DGSE faculty have made a request to the university administration to expand the gender-identity definitions to include gender non-binary options and allow students to self-identify their gender identity.
