The list of "Hispanic-Serving Institutions" (HSIs) that appears in this Web site is not, in any way, an "official" list of such institutions.
The definition of an HSI given below is not the same as the U.S. Department of Education's definition of institutions eligible for the
Title V program, which can be found at http://www.ed.gov/programs/idueshsi/definition.html.
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are public and private nonprofit, regionally accredited colleges and universities in the United States
(including Puerto Rico) at which total Hispanic student enrollment constitutes a minimum of 25% of the total enrollment.
The Hispanic enrollment percentages at the institutions listed in the current HSI tables are drawn from data in the
U.S. Department of Education’s Fall 2006 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
Colleges and universities that appear in this Web site’s HSI tables are institutions listed in IPEDS for which
enrollment data are available in the IPEDS database. Regional accreditation status is derived from the
Web sites of the six regional accrediting agencies. |
