¹ Prior to Fall 2002, Hunter factbooks did not include "other race" as a separate category, and the inclusion of this category has changed the distribution of percentages throughout the table. For this reason, the Fall 2002 Factbook does not include historical race and ethnicity breakdowns, in order to avoid confusion. Please refer to prior Factbooks for this information.


² The race/ethnicity distribution for new graduate students may be unreliable, as more than 3 in 4 students (75%) did not report their race or ethnicity.
