Asian American / Asian Research Institute
The City University of New York
Our presentation will give a profile of Asian students at CUNY using both demographic, academic performance and student experience survey data. In addition to describing the current Asian student population, we’ll discuss trends over the past several years in some demographic, academic and social indicators. Where applicable, we’ll compare Asian students to other broad racial/ethnic categories.
