California Universities Attract Latinos
29 Dec 2005
According to the magazine Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, more than 30 California universities are in the top 100 of schools that award bachelor’s degrees to Latino students.
Several San Joaquin Valley schools, including California State University, Stanislaus; California State University, Sacramento; and California State University, Fresno, were named. Those schools also have made the list in the past.
“The pick list is primarily put together to inform parents … which schools would be Hispanic-friendly to their children,” said Suzanne Lopez-Isa, the magazine’s managing editor. “We found that most Hispanics are very family-oriented people and want to send their child to a Hispanic-friendly area.”
More than 205,000 of San Joaquin County’s 614,000-plus residents are Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau’s 2003 American Community Survey.
