Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are particular to the United States and represents the struggle for equality, independence, respect and freedom. 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, secular and faith-affiliated. 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 graduate programs as other schools, including masters and PhD degrees in such fields as agriculture, biological sciences, business administration, clinical psychology, computer science, education, history, historic preservation, law, mathematics, natural resources, neuroscience, nursing, nutrition and dietetics, physics, public administration, social work, sport administration, urban and regional planning, and others. HBCU graduate schools 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 grad school search: they not only offer a great education, they give you a chance to experience part of history
FEATURED HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE GRAD SCHOOLS
OTHER HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE GRAD SCHOOLS
Our database of Historically Black College Grad Schools Grad Schools has been divided for ease of use into specific regions. Canadian grad schools have been divided into two major regions--the northeastern and western regions--which correspond to the grad school associations of each region (the Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools and the Western Canadian Deans of Graduate Studies). In the US, regional divisions are consistent with the six regional accrediting associations recognized by the US Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Additionally, the provinces and states grouped in each region share similar histories, traditions, economies, regional concerns, climates and geography and are, therefore, likely to define the typical boundaries for your search for a post-secondary institution.
