The Department of the Interior via the Office of Civil Rights provides federal guidelines for maintaining, collecting, and presenting data on race and ethnicity. HBS is required to follow these standards which allow students to self-identify their ethnicity and race, with the option to select more than one race and/or ethnicity. The racial and ethnic categories listed here reflect those included in our application process, per federal guidelines. *US race / ethnicity enrollment shown as a percent of US citizens and permanent residents.

Federal Reporting Guidelines

The second column reflects our student demographic data as reported based on federal government guidelines. Per these guidelines, all students who identify as Hispanic / Latinx and any other race are represented as Hispanic / Latinx only. Students who identify with more than one race are represented as Multi-Race only. The column adds to 100% but may be slightly lower or higher due to rounding.

Multi-Dimensional Reporting

In the third column, we share students' full racial and ethnic identities to more inclusively reflect the racial / ethnic groups with which they identify. As such, in the second column, students with multi-racial / ethnic identities are represented in more than one row, meaning the column adds to more than 100%.

Examples

A student who identifies as White and Hispanic / Latinx is represented only as Hispanic / Latinx in column two, per federal guidelines, but is represented both as White and Hispanic / Latinx in column three. A student who identifies as Asian American and Black / African American is represented as Multi-Race in column two and as both Asian American and Black / African American in column three.
