H.O. Top 100 Colleges and Universities for Hispanics

It is a well-established fact that the Hispanic/Latino population in the U.S., which currently represents nearly 20% of the total, continues to grow. As a result, Hispanic/Latino students will continue to have an important presence in higher education, and colleges and universities across the country will be the vehicles of social mobility and stalwarts of support for students from diverse backgrounds that they have always been, regardless of ever-shifting political developments. As part of its commitment to providing readers with concrete data on the Hispanic/Latino community, Hispanic Outlook presents its annual lists of Hispanic/Latino students’ presence in higher education, recognizing the specific institutions with the highest Hispanic/Latino enrolments and degrees and providing an overview of general trends across these top 100 institutions.
