ASIAN AMERICAN U
ASIANS LEAD COLLEGE COMPLETION
ully half of all Asian Americans aged 25 to 29 as of 1997 had gotten at least a B.A., says a U.S. Census Bureau Report. By comparison, a B.A. or higher had been obtained by 29% of Whites, 14% of African Americans and 11% of Hispanics in the 25-29 age group.
The contrast is slightly less dramatic for all persons aged 25 and over -- 42% of Asian Americans, 25% of Whites, 13% of African Americans and 10% of Hispanics. The encouraging aspect of these figures is that they reveal a clear trend toward higher percentages of college completion among all races of the current generation of Americans.
The above figures do not include foreign Asian students who make up 8% of the American college population. Counting all nationalities, Asian students make up 16% of the overall U.S. college population and 36% of the population of all California universities. By contrast Asians are only 4% of the population of the U.S. and 12% of the population of California.
