The University of California said Thursday that it has admitted 16,620 transfer students for the fall from California community colleges, up 2.4% from 2005. The proportion of Latino, African American and Native American students in the transfer group also rose, from 19% in 2005 to 19.9% this year.
At UCLA, students from those underrepresented minority groups constituted 19.2% of the admitted transfers this year, up from 17.8% in 2005.
The annual transfer report also showed that African Americans made up 3.1% -- or 155 students -- of the 5,030 California transfers admitted for the fall. The figure is up from 2.7% last year.
