HACU’S MISSION
To Champion Hispanic Success in Higher Education
HACU fulfills its mission by:
• Promoting the development of member colleges and universities;
• Improving access to and the quality of postsecondary educational opportunities for Hispanic students; and
• Meeting the needs of business, industry and government through the development and sharing of resources, information
and expertise.
HACU
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) was established in 1986, with a founding membership of 18
colleges and universities. Today, HACU represents more than 460 institutions committed to Hispanic higher education success
in 35 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and 9 countries in Latin America and Europe.
HACU is the only national association that represents Hispanic-Serving Institutions. More than 55 million Hispanics live in the
United States and Puerto Rico. While HACU’s U.S. member institutions represent less than 10% of all higher education institutions
nationwide, collectively they enroll approximately two-thirds of all Hispanic college students.
