14.5% increase in number of Hispanic-Serving Institutions

The number of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) jumped 14.5 percent between 2010 and 2011.  They now total 356 HSIs, enrolling 56 percent of all Hispanic students in higher education, according to an HSI Fact Sheet just released by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities’ (HACU) Office of Policy Analysis and Information. The fact sheet is based on the most recent enrollment data (2011-2012 academic year) available through the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Data System (IPEDS).

The data and lists released are those of HSIs that meet the enrollment criterion of the federal definition of an HSI (25.0% Full-Time Equivalent Hispanic undergraduate students). For the reporting period, there were also 250 emerging HSIs, with Hispanic enrollments between 15 and 24.9%. The fact sheet also includes demographics and academic attainment about Hispanics.
