Texas State has been named one of the nation's Top 50 Colleges for Hispanic Students. That distinction comes from the website Best-Colleges-dot-com. Emily Burns has the story.

At Texas State, Hispanics now make up 32 percent of the student population, and, according to Best-Colleges-dot-com, the university ranks 17th in academics among the 50 universities the website profiled. Sophomore Electronic Media Major Bethany Perales says the ranking has had a great impact on the university and on her education.
