Preferred term

racial inequality: college enrollment and completion  

Definition

  • Although the gaps have narrowed in recent decades, the rates of college enrollment and completion among black, Hispanic, and Native American students in the United States continue to lag behind those of Asian American and white students. Understanding these issues is particularly important in the United States as the youth population becomes more racially and ethnically diverse.
