Emerging Hispanic Serving Institution

21.percent

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside recognizes the importance in serving all students and strives to become a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). HSI's are defined as colleges, universities, or systems/districts where total Hispanic enrollment constitutes a minimum of 25% of the total headcount enrollment. With a 21% Hispanic student population, we are the first public university in Wisconsin recognized as an Emerging HSI.

An EMERGING HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTION has 15-24% Hispanic student population.

Chancellor's statement

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is committed to serving all members of our community and to providing education that benefits all students.

Hispanic students represent Wisconsin’s fastest growing group of college-bound individuals. I’m proud of the dedication of our faculty, staff, students, alumni and regional partners, which has resulted in the federal designation of UW-Parkside as an Emerging Hispanic Serving Institution.
