Historically Black Colleges and Universities are currently facing a plethora of challenges, such as financial difficulties, poor leadership, declining enrollment numbers and graduation and retention rates. Even amid such challenges, a new study reveals that HBCU grads are faring much better than their non-HBCU counterparts in multiple areas of life, including their financial and purpose well-being.
Benefits of Attending an HBCU
- Black HBCU grads are stronger in purpose, financial well-being
- College experiences different for HBCU, non-HBCU grads
- More black HBCU grads strongly agree they received support
- Black HBCU grads more involved in applied internships, long-term projects and extracurricular activities.
When choosing a college, enrollment numbers can be a guide for helping a student find their ideal college. This report shows the number of African-American students at HBCU colleges and ranks them in order of enrollment numbers. Percentages have been added for consideration. All data was gathered from the College Navigator system retrieved by The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
