Hispanic enrollment rose by 73 percent

(This comes in from our good friend, Peter at LCCC): 

Get the big picture.

Do the research.

From 1994 to 2004, Hispanic higher education enrollment increased dramatically. At four-year institutions alone, Hispanic enrollment rose by 73 percent.

Despite these increases, only 25 percent of college-age Latinos were enrolled in college, and only 12 percent  completed a four-year degree. These figures underscore the attainment gaps for U.S. Latinos. To ensure the nation’s economic and social vitality and provide equal postsecondary opportunity for Latinos, these gaps must be diminished.  Camino a la Universidad: CLICK here for The Road to College for Latinos, is an interactive, research-based Web site that presents the current landscape for Latinos in postsecondary education.
