This study provides a typological analysis of public, four-year institutions implementing programs for men of color (MoC). The purpose of the study is to expand our understanding of the institutional context and conditions in which these interventions operate. As more of these programs emerge, it is important to understand if and how institutional mission, composition, and resources shape supports and opportunities for underrepresented men of color attending four-year public institutions. Through an exhaustive search process, we identified 177 MoC programs across 166 public four-year institutions across the United States and organized them along a range of institutional characteristics. We then applied descriptive statistics and cluster analysis to program search findings. Results show that public institutions implementing MoC programs can be understood as seven clusters or institutional types. This research provides important information and context for stakeholders who are interested in addressing educational disparities for men of color by illuminating the institutional diversity through which these programs are catalyzed and implemented. To date, this is the first study to organize MoC programs located across four-year public institutions by a range of institutional categories.

本研究对实施有色人种 (MoC) 项目的四年制公立机构进行了类型学分析。该研究的目的是扩大我们对这些干预措施运作的制度背景和条件的理解。随着越来越多的此类项目出现，重要的是要了解机构使命、组成和资源是否以及如何为参加四年制公共机构的有色人种代表性不足的男性提供支持和机会。通过详尽的搜索过程，我们在美国 166 个四年制公立机构中确定了 177 个 MoC 项目，并根据一系列机构特征对它们进行了组织。然后，我们将描述性统计和聚类分析应用于程序搜索结果。结果表明，实施 MoC 计划的公共机构可以理解为七个集群或机构类型。这项研究通过阐明促进和实施这些计划的机构多样性，为有兴趣解决有色人种男性教育差异的利益相关者提供了重要的信息和背景。迄今为止，这是第一项按一系列机构类别组织四年制公共机构的 MoC 项目的研究。
