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
