Where Hispanics Go to College

As the Hispanic population increases, now at 50.5 million and counting, Hispanics are enrolling in higher education in record numbers. According to Pew Hispanic Center tabulations, the number of Hispanics in college is approximately 2.7 million. That figure will continue to grow because Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the country’s K-12 public schools. In addition, experts say Hispanics will be the most significant component in the growth of the work force for the next few decades.
