Abstract: "Excelencia" in Education has been tracking the profile and growth of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), a critical group of institutions enrolling Latino students, since the founding of the organization (2004). HSIs are defined in federal law as accredited and degree-granting public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education with 25 percent or more total undergraduate Hispanic full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment. These institutions were first recognized in federal law in 1992 (Higher Education Act). "Excelencia" in Education is an independent organization and releases the list of institutions meeting the basic definition every year. In addition, "Excelencia" developed the Emerging HSIs (eHSIs) category, institutions with 15-24.9 percent undergraduate full-time equivalent Hispanic enrollment, to track the growth of potential HSIs in 2009. "Excelencia" popularized the eHSIs category and HSIs with graduate programs (gHSIs), a subset of HSIs, by tracking and releasing annual analyses on these institutions as well. This factbook includes factsheets on these groups of institutions along with the lists of HSIs, eHSIs, and gHSIs for 2023-24, the latest academic year of publicly available data, using "Excelencia" in Education's analysis of U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), 1994 through 2023 Fall Enrollment, Institutional Characteristics, and Completions Surveys.
