Rising to the Challenge: Hispanic College Graduation Rates as a National Priority

Abstract

"President Barack Obama has called for the United States to reclaim its position as the nation with the highest concentration of adults with postsecondary degrees in the world. Given the changing demographics of the United States, this target cannot be achieved without increasing the rate at which Hispanic students obtain a college degree. In this report, we explore the dimensions of this challenge and identify steps that can be taken to help meet this ambitious national goal."
