Minority

Serving

Institutions

in the United States

As the U.S. population becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, Minority Serving Institutions (MSI's) will continue to play an important and unique role in our higher education system. This data visualization project identifies the different types of MSI’s in the U.S. including Puerto Rico. The institutions are organized by Carnegie Classifications (2015/Basic), and the circle size represent the enrollment (full-time equivalent) of each institution.
