UTSA earned the No. 8 spot on the list, with nearly 60% of all bachelor’s degrees awarded in the 2020–2021 academic year being earned by Hispanic students.

As a longtime Hispanic Serving Institution, UTSA continuously improves and expands programs that accelerate Hispanic and Latino student success. From advising and transfer services, to the Bold Promise and other financial aid programs, UTSA supports its students from the moment they begin their academic journey all the way through to graduation and into their future careers.

In addition to ranking No. 8 in total bachelor’s degrees conferred, UTSA was ranked No. 13 in total master’s degrees granted, awarding 635, or 48% of all degrees conferred, to Hispanic students; and No. 15 in total enrollment of Hispanic students at four-year institutions, with 57% of Roadrunners identifying as Hispanic.
