Historical Black Colleges and Universities

Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States established before 1964 primarily to serve African American students, often during times of racial segregation. They have a rich history of promoting access to education, cultural empowerment, and social justice for Black communities. HBCUs offer undergraduate and graduate programs across various fields, fostering community development and leadership. Today, they continue to play a vital role in providing quality education, fostering diversity, and preserving Black cultural heritage, making significant contributions to higher education and society at large.
