Latino Males in Higher Education

Abstract

This 2016 fact sheet profiles the status of Latino males in higher education. While college enrollment among Latino males continues to increase, they still lag behind Latino females in college enrollment — a disparity that increases as the level of higher education increases. Since Latino males represent more than half of traditional college-aged Americans, their college success will be vital to America’s future. Excelencia in Education, in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin, presented a webinar that convened leaders to discuss not only what they know, but what can be done to accelerate the success of Latino males in higher education.
