: IHOU responds to the need for Spanish language content. The Hispanic population is growing rapidly in the US and beyond. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Hispanic students often pursue their undergraduate studies in ways that make it difficult to complete a degree. They are also more likely to be enrolled in community colleges.

The IHOU team believes the ability to study core courses in Spanish will serve to increase the rate of degree attainment of Hispanic students. This may also serve to accelerate the time from entry into higher education to degree completion. These factors will help students successfully attain their education goals and move into productive employment at a pace more in line with their non-Hispanic counterparts.
