Trends in Black/Latino Higher Education in Medicine, Law, Business,& Public Affairs Graduate Progra

The purpose of this Tomás Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) report is twofold: to provide an analysis of the enrollment trends for African American and Latino students among graduate professional programs in the fields of medicine, business, law, and public affairs, and to present other relevant data pertaining to African American and Latino students in graduate education.

For this study, professional schools are defined as those requiring the baccalaureate for admission. These program fields are the ones that have prepared and continue to prepare elite leadership at both the state and national levels across a multitude of sectors.

In addition, the report presents an overview of professional programs’ abilities to attract Latino and African American students during the aftermath of anti-affirmative action policies. The data are, for the most part, presented by race and ethnicity, and based on the most recent publicly available information from government, private, and higher education institutions in the United States.
