Triton’s support for students has been recognized on a national level. In 2011, Triton College was designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) by the United States Department of Education. To be designated as an HSI, a college or university must serve a minimum Hispanic student population of 25%. Today, Triton’s student body consists of over 40% Hispanic students.

Triton College offers students, faculty, and staff year-round educational opportunities and community-building programs to foster an equitable and inclusive learning environment. Many of these are supported with institutional funds, state grants, and national grants.
