<p>Colleges usually use “students of color” to mean AA, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans; the term does not include internationals.</p>
<p>For instance, when Bowdoin says in its class profile that it has 31% students of color ([Class</a> of 2013 Profile (Bowdoin Admissions)](<a href=“http://www.bowdoin.edu/admissions/apply/2013-profile.shtml]Class”>http://www.bowdoin.edu/admissions/apply/2013-profile.shtml)) it will combine the percentages of these four groups (as reported in its CDS) to reach that number.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
