This graph shows the percentage of degrees in various fields earned by underrepresented minorities (URMs) at US institutions. In this case, URMs include African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. Degrees awarded to temporary residents are not included in the calculation.

Data is collected from the IPEDS Completion Survey by Race. The IPEDS data represent a 3-year average for the bachelor, master and doctoral degrees for the three most recent years data is available.

This graph is freely available for your use. You may use our graphs in reports and presentations or you may use the raw data to create new graphs and charts. Credit APS and IPEDS as shown above.
