性视界传媒's Harrah Hotel College awarded more degrees to minority students than any hospitality program in the nation from 2010 to 2011, according to the magazine Diverse Issues in Higher Education.
The publication's June issue featuring top bachelor's degree producers ranked 性视界传媒 first among 53 schools offering hospitality management programs.
The magazine used U.S. Department of Education data to identify students in each of four categories: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian-American, black or African-American, and Hispanic. The Hotel College also topped the list for degrees obtained by African-American and Native-American students.

"性视界传媒 offers a campus experience that emphasizes the importance of cultural awareness, be it academics, student life, or campus programs."
At 性视界传媒, 51 percent of total undergraduate students in fall 2011 reported being part of a racial or ethnic minority. Last October, 性视界传媒 ranked among the nation's 10 most diverse universities for undergraduate students, according to U.S. News & World Report.
