Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education Spotlight: Black Students (Infographic)
From the American Council on Education:
The number of Black students accessing and completing postsecondary credentials increased between 1995–96 and 2015–16. In 2015–16, Black students accounted for a larger share of high school completers, undergraduate and graduate enrollment, and graduate school completers than 20 years prior. However, these gains are often overshadowed by outcomes and high debt burdens that reflect the consequences of systematic and structural barriers that restrain the opportunities of many Black students, families, and the nation at large. This infographic highlights data from Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education: A Status Report to provide an overview of the educational journeys of Black students enrolled in postsecondary education.
