But, according to Mr. Schneider, the number of Hispanic college students is currently at an all-time high–15% of undergraduates. Mr. Schneider also reported a spike of 24% in Hispanics pursuing undergraduate degrees between 2009 and 2010. <p> Hispanic-Serving Institutions are defined as non-profit institutions of higher education with a Hispanic undergraduate enrollment of 25% or more. New Jersey City University, New Jersey’s only HSI, has an undergraduate enrollment of 8,328, 36.1% of which is Hispanic.Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:51:26 +0000
