Underrepresented Minority Definition

At UCSF our working definition of an underrepresented minority (URM) is someone whose racial or ethnic makeup is from one of the following:

• African American / Black
• Asian: Filipino, Hmong*, or Vietnamese
• Hispanic / Latinx
• Native American / Alaskan Native
• Native Hawaiian / Other Pacific Islander
• Two or more races, when one or more are from the preceding racial and ethnic categories in this list

* Hmong is not an explicit option on the UC employment forms at this time.
