The data, compiled exclusively forĀ DiverseĀ by Rhonda V. Sharpe, Ph.D., founder and president of the Womenā€™s Institute for Science, Equity and Race, is the only national report on the ability of U.S. colleges and universities to award degrees to African American, Hispanic, Asian American and Native American students.

°Õ³ó±šĢżDiverseĀ top 100 report is the only national analysis to use the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education (preliminary 2020-2021 academic year). Using these statistics, Sharpe created rankings in the total number of degrees awarded at every American institution of higher education, as well as specific figures in major fields of study and disciplines. This marks the 31stĀ consecutive year thatĀ ¶Ł¾±±¹±š°ł²õ±šĢż(“Ś“Ē°ł³¾±š°ł±ō²āĢżBlack Issues In Higher Education) has produced this original research.

Since 1984,Ā Diverse: Issues In Higher EducationĀ magazine has been the nationā€™s premier publication covering the issues pertaining to underrepresented groups in American higher education. A comprehensive presentation of top 100 degree statistics can be found atĀ
