Which universities have the highest percentage of Hispanic students?

I'm trying to learn about universities with larger Hispanic student bodies. Are there schools with a particularly high percentage of Hispanic students? I'm interested in finding a diverse community and would appreciate any recommendations!

Absolutely, it's wonderful to be part of a diverse community during your college years! You might want to look at the University of Texas at El Paso and Miami Dade College in Florida. The University of Texas at El Paso has a student body that is over 80% Hispanic, while Miami Dade College's Hispanic community comprises around 73% of the student body.

Additionally, the California State University system has a high percentage of Hispanic students. For instance, California State University, Dominguez Hills is home to over 60% Hispanic population in their total student body. Another key participant in Hispanic education is the University of New Mexico, with roughly 45-50%.

What's even better is these universities are recognized as Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), the federal designation for colleges and universities where total Hispanic enrollment constitutes a minimum of 25% of the total headcount enrollment. This designation tends to indicate a supportive atmosphere and resources specifically tailored to the needs of Hispanic students.

If you're looking for more selective options, University of Southern California (USC) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) also have substantial Hispanic populations around 18-20%.

Remember, besides the student demographics, there are other aspects to look into, like the variety of academic programs, student resources, campus engagement opportunities, and financial aid options. Feel free to explore and weigh your options!
