Lamar University led the nation in the number of graduate degrees in education awarded to Hispanics during 2010.
The university graduated 342 Hispanics during the year, according to The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, a national magazine dedicated to exploring issues related to Hispanics in higher education.
“In the field of education, Lamar University in Texas led the pack, awarding the most master’s and doctoral degrees to Hispanics,” wrote Mary Ann Cooper, special projects editor for the magazine. Lamar was one of seven Texas schools on the Top 25 list of graduate degrees in education conferred.
“This is clearly good news for Lamar University because we have identified and captured a demographic slice of the state that previously has not been available to Lamar University,” said Kevin Smith, Lamar’s senior associate provost. “It is great news.”
