Description
Summary:Source of Data & Methodology This year's report includes degrees conferred during the 2005-2006 academic year that have so far been reported to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through the Completions Survey of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data Set (IPEDS). U.S. citizens or permanent residents are categorized as Black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Hispanic; White, non-Hispanic; and race/ethnicity unknown. A specific list may also be short because only a small number of degrees are conferred to that minority group within that discipline and/or degree level.\n Hispanic numbers have increased at the highest average annual rate of 6.3 percent The other minority groups, Asian-Americans, African-Americans, and American Indians, follow with respective growth rates averaging between 4.5 and 4.7 percent annually.
