Building a strong society takes a lot of work and committed effort. In the United States, the struggle to build a nation on the values of independence, respect and freedom led to the development of colleges, after the Civil War, with the specific mission to provide educational opportunities for blacks. These schools are now known as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and they are still an important part of our postsecondary education system.

There are over 100 historically black colleges and universities in the United States today, including public and private, four- and two-year institutions. Admission to these colleges is open to all, but many HBCUs continue to emphasize programs focused on the needs of traditionally underrepresented students. Committed strongly to the social importance of education and of programs that will contribute positively to society, HBCUs therefore offer undergraduate programs in engineering with a variety of specialization options. So whether it's aerospace or architectural, environmental or electrical, the engineering programs at HBCUs will give you a solid education for a solid future.

Our database of Historically Black Colleges and Universities has been divided for ease of use into six regions consistent with the six regional accrediting associations recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). In addition, the states within each region are represented by similar histories, traditions, economies, climates and geography and are therefore, likely to define the typical boundaries for your search for a post-secondary institution.
