Enrollment of minority students at the Connecticut Community Colleges has been increasing annually. Fall 2007 minority enrollments (16,052) represent 33.1% of the student body, a 15.6% increase in minority enrollment since 2003 (29.4% are Black and Hispanic). The system accounts for 63.6% of all minority enrollments in Connecticut public higher education. Over the past five years, significant enrollment increases have occurred for Black males (20%), Black females (5%), Hispanic males (28%) and Hispanic females (18%).
As a system, the proportion of minority enrollment exceeds the proportion in the state’s populations of people 18 years of age and older; the performance goal has been met or exceeded.
Minority enrollment falls below the state-wide population percentages at the small rural colleges (Asnuntuck, Northwestern Connecticut, and Quinebaug) and medium suburban colleges (Middlesex, Three Rivers, Tunxis); however, their proportions exceeded the proportions in their regional service areas, which are 7.5% and 11.4%, respectively.
