Exploring the Intersectionality of First Generation, Underrepresented Minority (URM), and Received Pell Aid Undergraduate Student Groups at CSUMB

What percentage of CSUMB's undergraduate students are First Generation, URM, or Received Pell Aid?

51% of undergraduate students are first generation (2019 Fall).
50% of undergraduate students are URM (2019 Fall)
47% of undergraduate students received Pell aid (2019 Fall).

Trends in undergraduate student enrollment by First Generation, URM, and Received Pell Aid

 

  • The percentage of First Generation undergraduate students enrolled at CSUMB has fallen to 51% in 2019 Fall from 55% in 2015 Fall.
  • The percentage of URM undergraduate students enrolled at CSUMB has risen to 50% in 2019 Fall from 46% in 2015 Fall.
  • The percentage of undergraduate students enrolled at CSUMB who Received Pell Aid has been relatively flat with 47% in 2019 Fall and 48% in 2015 Fall.

Intersectionality of First Generation, URM, and Received Pell Aid Student Groups

Rather than being mutually exclusive, individual students often are a combination of first generation, URM, and received Pell aid. If we overlay and combine these groups, we end up with seven intersectional groups in which students fall:

  • First Generation Only
  • URM Only
  • Received Pell Aid Only
  • First Generation and URM (Did Not Receive Pell Aid)
  • First Generation and Received Pell Aid (Non-URM)
  • URM and Received Pell Aid (Not First Generation)
  • First Generation, URM, and Received Pell Aid
Venn diagram illustrating intersectionality. See preceding narrative.

In 2019 Fall, 76% of CSUMB undergraduate students were members of one of these intersectional groups:

  • 9% were First Generation only
  • 8% were URM only
  • 8% Received Pell Aid only
  • 13% were First Generation and URM (Did Not Receive Pell Aid)
  • 8% were First Generation and Received Pell Aid (Non-URM)
  • 9% were URM and Received Pell Aid (Not First Generation)
  • 21% were First Generation, URM, and Received Pell Aid

24% of CSUMB undergraduate students in 2019 Fall were Not First Generation, Non-URM, and Did Not Receive Pell Aid.

How can you access this information in the CSUMB Data Warehouse?

You can access this information in the CSUMB Data Warehouse and break it down or filter further by college, major, support programs, or other student characteristics.

Enrollment data can be cross tabulated using the Enrollment (Census) Dashboard’s Multilevel Crosstab Table tab, selecting “First Generation,” “Underrepresented Minority Description,” and “Received Pell Aid” as Group Breakdowns, and filtering by Student Type of “Undergraduate.”

The retention and graduation data can be cross tabulated using the Retention and Graduation Dashboard’s Multilevel Crosstab Table tab, selecting “First Generation,” “Underrepresented Minority Description,” and “Received Pell Aid” as Group Breakdowns, and filtering by Cohort Type of “First-Time Freshman (FTF)” or Cohort Type of “Upper Division Transfer.”
