History of HBCUs
Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) were established to serve the educational needs of black Americans. As a result, HBCUs became the principal means for providing postsecondary education to black Americans. Today, HBCUs must fulfill educational goals far beyond those initially set.
“The reason is clear: HBCUs outperform non-HBCU institutions in retaining and graduating first-generation, low-income African American students. Diversity within college graduates is vital because more voices from all corners of the United States makes us a better formed, positive, successful society. From making college affordable, to supporting African American students seeking degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, HBCUs play a crucial role.”
