Archival data were obtained from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board consisting of the number of Hispanic students enrolled and number of degrees awarded in the health-related degrees at Texas health-related institutions for each year beginning with 2000 through 2012. Statistically significant increases were not present in the number or the percentages of Hispanic students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs or for the number or the percentages of undergraduate degrees awarded. The lack of statistically significant increases should serve as a call to examine the higher education system.  \nIntroduction  \nThe ability to obtain a quality higher education and healthcare remain priorities for Hispanics because increases in this group accounted for more than half of the total population growth between 2000 and 2010 in the United States (U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce, Economics, and Statistics Administration, 2011) . Yet, Hispanics continue to be underrepresented at all levels of higher education with only 12% of the total undergraduate and post baccalaureate student enrollment in 2008 being Hispanic (National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 2010) . Despite substantial gains in the percentage of American  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review of Doctoral Research, Vol. 1, No. 1 – March 2014 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2014 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nThis manuscript may not be used commercially or edited.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center (2009), 28% a bachelor’s degree compared to only 13% of Hispanics of the same age. The population distribution of Hispanics is not equally dispersed throughout the country. According to The U.S. Census Bureau Department of Commerce, Economics, and Statistics Administration (2011) over one half of the Hispanic population resides in just three states: California (28%), Texas (18.7%), and Florida (8.4%) .  \nAmong positive higher education outcomes, college completion remains one of the biggest disparities between White and Hispanic students (Fry, 2011) . This lack of completion has the potential for severe economic impact on both a state and national level. In a policy proposal for the group Excelencia in Education, Santiago (2011) warned of a looming crisis caused by the combination of a rapidly expanding population and a lower than average education attainment. In 2005, The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education predicted a decline in the skill and income of U.S. residents in the next two decades because the least educated groups are becoming the fastest growing segment of the workforce (National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, 2005) . This decline translates into a loss of tax base and larger financial decreases (Kelly, 2005) .  \nAdditionally, Hispanics are under-represented in healthcare professions; a fact linked to health disparities in the minority populations (Cason et al., 2008 ; Grumbach & Mendoza, 2008; Smedley, Butler, & Bristow, 2004) .
