Institutions of higher education in the US established before 1964 whose principal mission was the education of Black Americans.
HBCUs were founded during and after the era of racial segregation to provide higher education opportunities for Black Americans when most institutions were racially exclusive. Today there are approximately 107 HBCUs across the US, including both public and private institutions. Despite representing only 3% of colleges, HBCUs produce 27% of Black STEM bachelor's degrees, 80% of Black judges, and 50% of Black doctors and lawyers. Notable HBCUs include Howard University (DC), Morehouse College and Spelman College (Atlanta), Hampton University (Virginia), and Tuskegee University (Alabama). Many HBCUs offer significantly lower tuition than PWIs (Predominantly White Institutions) while providing culturally affirming environments and strong alumni networks that extend into politics, business, medicine, and the arts.
