Hello, I'm a high school junior who will soon be applying to colleges. I'm particularly interested in Georgia HBCUs and was wondering which of them have high graduation rates. I think it's a good measure of how well the school supports its students. Can anyone share their knowledge or experiences?
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some information on this!
In Georgia, there are several HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) that have diverse academic programs and offer strong support systems for their students. As per the graduation rates, here are the top 3:
1. Spelman College: Located in Atlanta, it's not only known for its high graduation rates among HBCUs in Georgia but nationally as well. It has a six-year graduation rate of approximately 76%. Spelman boasts a rigorous academic program and a nurturing college community.
2. Morehouse College: Also in Atlanta, Morehouse is an all-male HBCU and its six-year graduation rate is around 53%. This college is known for developing leaders and has strong programs in fields such as business and social sciences.
3. Clark Atlanta University: This is a more comprehensive institution offering programs in a wide range of disciplines. Its six-year graduation rate hovers around 48%.
Please note that while graduation rates are one measure of a college's performance, they're not the only factor to consider when choosing a school. Other important aspects may include the academic programs offered, faculty, campus life, and post-graduation opportunities.
Best of luck with your college search!
