UTSA Leads Nation in Undergraduate Biological Sciences Degrees for Hispanics

For the fourth time in five years, UTSA leads the nation in the number of undergraduate degrees in the biological sciences awarded to Hispanics. UTSA also ranks third nationwide in the number of undergraduate degrees awarded in business and marketing, currently the most popular discipline concentration for Hispanics.

Both distinctions are reported in the May 7 issue of Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education in the publication's annual ranking of 100 colleges and universities in the United States and Puerto Rico.

UTSA is ranked No. 6 nationally in overall undergraduate degrees granted to Hispanics. In addition to the number of biological sciences and business/marketing degrees, the ranking also shows four other undergraduate degree program areas at UTSA among the top 10 for Hispanics: interdisciplinary studies, which at UTSA prepares graduates to teach (3rd); protective services (6th); mathematics (8th); and English and literature (9th).
