Hispanic Business Magazine last week released its 2009 rankings of the top 10 business schools for Hispanic students. Among the highest ranked schools in terms of Hispanic representation in their student body and faculty were several top-tier global MBA programs, including the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business and the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley.
Part of Hispanic Business’s annual ranking of graduate schools as measured by diversity, the Top 10 Business Schools for Hispanic Students list was compiled by the magazine’s research arm, HispanTelligence. It ranked MBA programs according to the percent of Hispanic student enrollment as compared to overall student enrollment, the number and percent of MBA degrees earned by Hispanic students and Hispanic representation among faculty.
“Instead of looking at diversity as a federal requirement, these schools embrace it as a means of educational enrichment,” read the Hispanic Business report that accompanied the rankings. “Using factors such as enrollment and percentage of degrees earned by Hispanics, the numbers show that Hispanics are steadily making educational strides, while universities are also doing more outreach to them.”
Despite the gains, the Hispanic Business report suggests that much work still remains to be done. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 3.6 percent of Hispanics over the age of 25 who complete college go on to receive a masters, professional or doctoral degree, the lowest statistics of all ethnic groups. Universities must develop their own recruiting methodologies to obtain and maintain diversity enrollment goals, the report continued.
