Information on Minority Institutions of Higher Education
HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTIONS (HSIs) "play a major role in educating Hispanics in the United States. Although these 209 HSIs in the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico account for just 5 percent of all institutions of higher education, almost one-half (49 percent) of all Hispanic students attend an HSI." The web site of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities includes a Directory of Selected Degrees Offered by Hispanic-Serving Institutions. A list of HACU member institutions is also available.
