The United States encompasses a diverse collection of people, and the history of our country tells of their struggles--for independence, respect and freedom. The development of black colleges was a response to one such struggle.
Before the Civil War, there were only 2 higher education institutions established for black students, and before 1964 black students were mostly excluded from higher education at predominantly white universities and colleges. Thus, institutions founded before 1964 with the specific mission to provide educational opportunities for blacks in the US are now known as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
There are over 100 historically black colleges and universities in the United States, including public and private, four- and two-year institutions and community colleges. Admission to these colleges-like all in the US-is not restricted to any one group of people, although many HBCUs continually strive to implement programs focused on the needs of students who have had limited access to education. HBCUs offer many of the same undergraduate and graduate programs as other schools, and provide world-class teaching and research grounded in core values such as inclusiveness, scholarship, diversity, leadership, and service. So don't leave HBCUs out of your school search: they not only offer a great education, they give you a chance to experience part of our history.
