Best Historically Black Colleges & Universities

Get Matched With Colleges

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are colleges and universities that historically served the African American community. These institutions are unique features of the higher education landscape in the United States. They have served the educational needs of the black community and developed programs, majors, and course offerings that have helped to shape how they are defined today. In 2020, there were 101 HBCUs located in 19 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Of the 101 HBCUs, 52 were public institutions and 49 were private nonprofit institutions. Today HBCUs serve students of all races.

While the number of HBCUs in the United States is small, their legacy is widespread. It has produced many of the nation's most successful leaders, including Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Alice Walker, and Chadwick Boseman. Even though HBCUs comprise only three percent of four-year colleges, they have produced more than 80 percent of the nation's black judges and 50 percent of black doctors.

Best HBCU by State


Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are an important part of the higher education landscape. These institutions have been around for generations, with some dating back to the 1860s. In fact, some of the first historically black colleges and universities were founded by African Americans, such as Cheyney University in North Carolina. However, until the early 20th century, they did not have accreditation or the power to offer degrees. One of the first HBCUs to issue degrees was Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, which was founded in 1854 as the Ashmun Institute, but changed its name to its current name in 1910. These historically black colleges and universities are all excellent educational institutions, and many have survived the years of segregation. Their graduates are highly qualified professionals of all ethnicities.
