List of HSI and HACU schools

For decades, employers trying to hire more diverse college students have been traveling to and otherwise targeting those enrolled in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Some, but far from all, have also included in their recruitment efforts traveling to or otherwise recruiting students the Hispanic-Service Institutions (HSIs). Some employers who advertise their part-time, seasonal, internship, or entry-level jobs with College Recruiter will have us deliver a targeted email campaign, for example, to students of the HSIs.

According to Wikipedia, a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) is defined in federal law as an accredited, degree-granting, public or private nonprofit institution of higher education with 25 percent or more total undergraduate Hispanic full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment. In the 2018–19 academic year, 539 institutions met the federal enrollment criterion.

In 1992, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) led the effort to convince Congress to formally recognize campuses with high Hispanic enrollment as federally designated HSIs and to begin targeting federal appropriations to those campuses. Today, HACU represents nearly 470 colleges and universities committed to Hispanic higher education success in the U.S., Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. Although HACU member institutions in the U.S. represent less than 13 percent of all higher education institutions nationwide, together they enroll more than two-thirds of all Hispanic college students. HACU is the only national educational association that represents HSIs.
