HBCU Listing
Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) are U.S. institutions of higher education established before 1964 with the primary mission of educating Black Americans because America was segregated.
For a century after the abolition of slavery in the U.S, almost all colleges and universities in Southern United States used Jim Crow lawsto ban Black people. Other parts of the country regularly employed quotas to limit admission
Currently, there are 107 HBCUs in the U.S.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) remain necessary and highly relevant, providing tailored academic support, economic mobility, and a nurturing, culturally affirming environment for Black students. According to the United Negro College Fund, despite making up only 3% of U.S. colleges, HBCUs produce nearly 20% of Black graduates and 25% of Black STEM graduates. From class offerings and student organizations to career services and alumni networks, they offer supportive environments that are rooted in the African-American experience. But this is not say these campuses aren’t diverse: HBCUs admit students from all races and walks of life.
When it comes to finding your best-fit college, a school's atmosphere is very important. It determines whether you'll feel comfortable and find your niche. Real talk: college is very different from high school.
