UA-PTC ranked for diversity in degree conferrals

Diverse: Issues In Higher Education produces an annual list, Top 100 Degree Producers, which gives rankings of the institutions that confer the most degrees to minority students. UA – Pulaski Tech has once again placed among the top 100 colleges nationally.

UA-PTC is ranked #87 with 273 degrees conferred to minority students. It is the only school in Arkansas placed in the top 100 for African American students.

See the entire list at top100.diverseeducation.com.

Each list provides the total for the previous year, followed by the reporting year counts for males, females and total. The final two columns show two percentages. The first percentage indicates how the number of the minority category degree recipients compares with all degree recipients at that institution within that discipline. The second percentage column indicates the percentage change in that minority groups’ number of graduates at that institution from the previous year.
