Percentages are for degree-seeking undergraduates enrolled in the fall of 2006. These are categories developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that are used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or belong in the eyes of the community, and are the categories used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. An individual is counted in only one group by the institution.

Race/Ethnicity Unknown
This category is used ONLY if the student did not select a racial/ethnic designation when asked by the institution, AND the Institution finds it impossible to place the student in one of the racial/ethnic categories during established enrollment procedures or in any post-enrollment identification or verification process. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government.

International Students
Persons who are not citizens or nationals of the United States and who are in this country on a visa or temporary basis and do not have the right to remain indefinitely. This is the category “nonresident alien” developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.

Hispanic
A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.

Asian/Pacific Islander

This includes people from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, American Samoa, India, and Vietnam.

This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.
