The category "ethnic minorities" includes all ethnic groups, with permanent resident foreign nationals counted within the ethnicity groups (but not the nonresident aliens). Graduation data are for students who graduated from UNT; the unknown number who transferred to other institutions and graduated from there are included in the "did not return" groups. Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
