Hispanic Magazine.com - March 2006 - Features: Not only is the number of Hispanics attending college on the rise, but latinos are also enrolling in higher numbers in the county's best schools, changing the faces of the most selective academic institutions.
What distinguishes a college from being excellent overall to being more specifically the best for Hispanics? There are many criteria to consider.
Not only has HISPANIC Magazine considered the essentials—an institution’s selectivity, graduation rates, student-to-faculty ratio, and academic excellence with the help of U.S. News & World Report—but, we’ve also considered other important factors such as Hispanic enrollment, cultural programs, organizations and support for Hispanic students, and the percentage of Hispanic faculty. Twenty-four of our top 25 schools were also recognized by Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education in their annual “Publisher’s Pick List.”
