The institution's Class of 2010 included 1,680 Hispanic students who earned bachelor's degrees. Another 203 earned master's degrees – the publication ranked Cal State Fullerton 32nd in the nation for that figure.
Meanwhile, the institution also garnered high marks for bachelor's degrees awarded to Hispanics in certain majors.

And, the university came in third for parks-recreation-leisure and fitness; fourth in health services and sciences; sixth in business and marketing, and education; eighth in psychology; ninth in visual and performing arts; and 10th in homeland security.
In total, Hispanics make up 30 percent of the university's student population of about 35,000.
