and Universities That Graduate the Most Minority  Students
Thursday July 20, 3:16 pm ET  
FAIRFAX, Va., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Diverse: Issues In Higher  Education 
magazine has released its rankings of the Top 100 colleges and  universities 
that graduate the most minority students in the United States. In  its July 13, 
2006, edition, the magazine identifies the Top 100 minority degree  producers 
among graduate institutions of higher education. The data, compiled  
exclusively for Diverse by Dr. Victor Borden of Indiana University-Purdue  University of 
Indianapolis, is the only national report on the ability of U.S.  colleges 
and universities to award graduate and professional degrees to  
African-American, Latino, Asian American and American Indian students.

Using the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education (2004- 2005  
academic year), Dr. Borden has created rankings in the total number of 
master's,  doctoral, and first professional degrees awarded at every American 
college, as  well as specific figures in major fields of study and disciplines. This 
marks  the 15th consecutive year that Diverse (formerly Black Issues In 
Higher  Education) has produced this original research. Among the significant 
findings  in the 2006 report:  
    * Webster University with 1,631 minority graduates ranked first in

      master's degrees awarded to combined African-American, Latino, Asian

      American and American Indian students.



    * Among historically Black colleges and universities, Howard University

      was first in doctoral degrees awarded to African-Americans. Argosy

      University-Sarasota led traditionally White institutions in doctoral

      degrees awarded to African-Americans.



    * Florida International University was edged out as the number one

      producer of Hispanic master's degrees by Long Island University-C.W.

      Post.

      The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey retained its spot

      as the No. 1 producer of minority M.D.'s.

This special report is one of a two-part series. The Diverse Top 100  
Undergraduate Degree Producers special report was published on June 1, 2006. A
