西班牙裔服务机构（HSI），招收至少25%的西班牙裔学生的机构，在机构上是多样化的，包括比其他少数民族服务机构（MSIs）更广泛的机构类型。此外，它们具有不同于卡内基分类系统等机构类型学通常强调的机构特征。为了更好地理解基于其独特的制度品质的异质性之间的HSI，我们构建了一个概念模型，基于现有的理论框架和实证研究来描述和区分HSI。使用聚类分析，以研究人口的美国大陆和波多黎各2年和4年的HSIs的综合中学后教育数据系统（IPEDS），我们确定了六种类型的HSIs。这种类型学有助于将HSIs置于美国高等教育机构的更广阔的环境中，为理解HSIs之间的机构多样性提供了基础，并提供了对其他MSIs和广泛访问机构进行分类的见解。在一个越来越多的问责制的时代，它还提供了一个工具，以确定同行机构的HSIs，告知在何种程度上在某些HSIs的做法可能适用于其他机构的决定，并比较机构的表现在更适合的方式。
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), institutions that enroll at least 25% Hispanic students, are institutionally diverse, including a much wider array of institutional types than other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). Furthermore, they have distinctive institutional characteristics from those typically emphasized in institutional typologies such as the Carnegie classification system. To understand better the heterogeneity among HSIs based on their unique institutional qualities, we constructed a conceptual model based on existing theoretical frameworks and empirical research to describe and differentiate among HSIs. Using cluster analysis to examine a population of U.S. mainland and Puerto Rican 2-year and 4-year HSIs in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), we identified six types of HSIs. This typology helps to place HSIs within the broader landscape of U.S. higher education institutions, provides a foundation for understanding institutional diversity among HSIs, and offers insights about classifying other MSIs and broad access institutions. In an era of increasing accountability, it also provides a tool to identify peer institutions for HSIs, to inform decisions about the extent to which practices at certain HSIs might be applicable to other institutions, and to compare the performance across institutions in more contextually appropriate ways.
