Hey everyone, a bit stressed trying to figure out the academic strength of HBCUs. Does anyone have information on graduation rates at HBCUs, or where I can find such a list?
Hello! It's understandable that you're curious about graduation rates, as it can be an indicator of the academic strength and support at a college. For HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), the graduation rates might vary depending on the institution. To find this information, you can visit each HBCU's official website where they usually publish their graduation rates under 'Institutional Research' or 'Fact Book' sections.
Alternatively, you can use third-party websites like CollegeVine, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), or the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) that collect data on various aspects of education, including graduation rates.
It's worth mentioning that while graduation rates are informative, you should also consider other factors like academic and financial support, campus resources, and student body diversity when evaluating the overall academic strength of an HBCU. Hope this helps!
