Hey everyone! I'm doing my college research and I'm interested in HBCUs in the southern states. Does anyone have a list or resources where I can find out which HBCUs are in the South, along with the key programs they offer? Cheers!
Absolutely! I'm glad to hear that you're considering HBCUs for your college journey—they offer such rich history and diverse opportunities.
You can typically find comprehensive lists of HBCUs through educational resources like the U.S. Department of Education or the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which provide directories of these institutions along with some program highlights. Also take a look at the Common Black College Application, which allows you to apply to multiple HBCUs at once and also features a list of its member schools, many of which are in the South.
For an even deeper dive into key academic programs, I recommend visiting each college's official website or looking at the college profiles on CollegeVine, which could give you insights into the strengths of each institution. One of the valuable things about HBCUs is that they often have strong ties to certain fields, like STEM programs at North Carolina A&T State University or business courses at Howard University in Washington, D.C.
When you identify potential schools, don't hesitate to reach out to their admissions departments for more personalized information about their key programs. They're usually very willing to assist prospective students. Best of luck with your search!
