Racial/ethnic data were collected by major field or discipline. Data are detailed in 10 tables. Findings reported include the following: (1) institutions conferred more than 2.1 million degrees in academic year 1991-92; (2) of these, 24 percent were associate's degrees, 54 percent were bachelor's degrees, 17 percent were master's degrees, 2 percent were doctorates, and 4 percent were first-professional degrees; (3) the number of all degrees awarded was up 4.1 percent over the previous year with about one half of the increase in bachelor's degrees and with women receiving almost 61 percent of the increase; (4) percentage gains in number of degrees awarded to minorities were as high as 10 percent more to Asians and Pacific Islanders, 9 percent more to American Indians, and 8 and 7 percent more to Hispanics and Blacks, non-Hispanics, respectively; (5) as a whole minorities increased their relative share of all degrees by .5 percent; and (6) minorities received only about 14 percent of all degrees awarded in 1991-92.
