The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) was established in 1986 to increase college attendance and graduation rates for Hispanic students. It is the only national organization representing Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Today, HACU represents more than 470 colleges and universities committed to Hispanic higher education success in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Latin America, and Spain. Although our member institutions in the U.S. represent only 10% of all higher education institutions nationwide, together they are home to more than two-thirds of all Hispanic college students. HACU is the only national educational association that represents Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs).
