In 2010-11, 311 institutions were identified as HSIs. The defining characteristic of HSIs is their Hispanic enrollment, not their institutional mission.
The list of institutions identified as HSIs in this analysis is not intended to designate eligibility for any specific program; rather, the list is meant to assist in considering and analyzing the institutions that meet the basic legislative definition of a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The following list of HSIs was created using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
Lists of Hispanic-Serving Institutions
Hispanic-Serving Institutions
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are defined in federal law as accredited and degree-granting public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education with 25 percent or more total undergraduate Hispanic full-time equivalent student enrollment.
Emerging Hispanic Serving Institutions
Because many institutions do not meet the 25 percent cut off to be classified as HSIs, institutions classified as emerging HSIs refers to the institutions that have 20 - 20.4 percent undergraduate Hispanic full-time enrollment. The list of institutions identified as emerging HSIs is meant to assist in considering and analyzing the institutions that may soon meet the basic legislative definition of a Hispanic-Serving Institution.
