q3 · i? · associational · r3

Descriptive analysis by race/ethnicity in Table 1 (N=5,194). Latino graduates showed the lowest planning rate (60 percent) compared to African American (77 percent), white (76 percent), and Asian (83 percent) graduates who aspired to a four-year degree.

"Latino students were the least likely to plan to enroll in a four-year college after graduation. As seen in Table 1, 40 percent of Latino graduates who aspired to complete a four-year degree did not plan to attend a four-year college."
