CEPR Reports and Issue Briefs from Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR)

Abstract: As documented in part one of this series, the high school completion rate of blacks is currently at the highest it has ever been. This second installment turns to college entry and completion. The data show that blacks are starting—and finishing—college at higher rates than in the past, but they still lag far behind whites.
