Just the Stats: Hispanic Women Continue to Make Gains in Enrollment: A recent report from The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) called, “Graduate Enrollment and Degrees: 1996-2006,” revealed a slight increase in minority participation in graduate schools, rising from 26 percent in 2005 to 28 percent in 2006.
Hispanic enrollment constituted about 8 percent of the total U.S. graduate enrollment, compared to 13 percent of the total for African-Americans, and 6 percent for Asian/Pacific Islanders.
