ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - The six-year graduation rate for Hispanic students at the University of New Mexico has seen its highest jump in a decade.

School officials say the rate grew to 44.6 percent this year, a boost from 41.6 percent in 2011.

Administrators credit the rise to a variety of new programs and student organizations aimed at helping Latino students with financial aid and tutoring.

About 30 percent of the UNM student body is Latino.
